History
Gendoji Station began as Gendoji Signalling Depot on 25 December 1930 on the privately operated Fuji-Minobu Railway, in what is now Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture. When the line was leased to the national government on 1 October 1938 the stop was upgraded to a full station handling passengers and freight, and the Fuji-Minobu Railway was formally nationalised on 1 May 1941. Parcel handling ended on 1 March 1971, the same year the Fuji to Fujinomiya section was double-tracked. The station was destaffed on 10 April 1983, and in 1999 the original building was demolished and replaced by a small shelter. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Central, and TOICA service began on 13 March 2010.
