History
Gakunan-Harada Station opened on 20 December 1951 on the Gakunan Railway Line in Fuji, Shizuoka Prefecture, simultaneously with the start of a connecting private siding to the Daishōwa Paper Yoshinaga Mill. The Yoshinaga mill, later operated by Nippon Daishōwa Paperboard, supplied substantial freight traffic until container and tank-car operations through Gakunan-Harada were discontinued on 16 March 2012. Passenger operations were transferred from Gakunan Railway to its successor company, Gakunan Electric Train, on 1 April 2013. The station has a single island platform and is unstaffed; the disused freight yard now leases space to a ceremonial hall, and the small station building houses a soba restaurant.
