History
Gakunan-Enoo Station opened on 20 January 1953 as a Gakunan Railway stop and now serves as the terminus of the Gakunan Railway Line. The line was originally planned to continue south to Numazu, and for some time after construction stopped the tracks still extended a short distance beyond the platform toward that direction; the leftover stretch was used as a runaround until freight services ended in 1984. The station became unstaffed on 1 February 1984 with the end of freight handling, and on 1 April 2013 operation passed from Gakunan Railway to Gakunan Electric Train. The wooden station building remains, but its former ticket windows are boarded up and there is no vending machine.

Notes
The station building stands but its ticket windows are sealed shut with boards and the manual departure board on the wall has not been used since the station went unstaffed in 1984; the dormant tracks once continuing south toward Numazu are now severed and partly redeveloped into housing plots.
