History
Toshima Station opened on 10 August 1918 as the temporary terminus of the privately built Fuji Minobu Railway after the line was extended from Shibakawa. The line was pushed on to Uchibuna-Nanbu in October the same year, and the halt was upgraded to a full station on 22 June 1936. The Railway Ministry leased the line from 1938 and nationalised it on 1 May 1941, when Toshima became a stop on the Minobu Line. Freight handling ended in September 1972 and parcel handling in February 1982; the station has been unstaffed since 1 June 1983. It passed to JR Central at the 1 April 1987 privatisation, and the present concrete station building was completed in March 1994.
