History
Mishima-Hirokōji Station traces its history to a Hirokōji junction halt opened around 1914 on the Sunzu Line's electrified predecessor; it was renamed Mishima-Hirokōji on 18 April 1928. With the 1 December 1934 re-routing of the Tōkaidō Main Line via the Tanna Tunnel, the original Mishima Station (today's Shimo-Togari) closed and the Sunzu Line was rebuilt to terminate at the new Mishima Station; the Mishima (old) - Mishima-Hirokōji segment was discontinued the same day. The line's parent, the Sunzu Railway, was renamed Izuhakone Railway on 1 June 1957. Automatic ticket gates entered service on 25 January 2002, and a 2020 refurbishment replaced the old taxi-stand garage with a convenience store and reworked the platform.
