History
Shin-Kambara Station opened on 1 October 1968 as a passenger-only Japanese National Railways Tōkaidō Main Line station between Iwabuchi (now Fujikawa) and Kambara, established because residential development around the original Kambara post-town on the eastern side of the line had outgrown the older Kambara Station. Once opened, Shin-Kambara's passenger volume soon exceeded that of Kambara itself and has remained higher since. From the early 1980s some express trains chose between calling at Shin-Kambara or Kambara, but all Tōkaidō-section express services were abolished in the March 1996 timetable revision, leaving only local trains. The station passed to JR Central at the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 and gained TOICA IC-card service on 1 March 2008. Lifts began operating on 18 March 2017, and the station was de-staffed on 1 June 2025 with the introduction of JR Central's Customer Support Service. The station code is CA10 and the station is the easternmost in Shizuoka City.
