History
Kitsunegasaki Station was established on December 9, 1908 as Uehara Station on the line of the present-day Shizuoka Railway. In 1927 it was renamed Yuenmae Station, reflecting the opening of the predecessor of the Kitsunegasaki Young Land Amusement Center, but reverted to a new name—Kitsunegasaki Station—in 1944 after the wartime closure of the park. After the war, as Shizutetsu promoted the reopened park, the station was renamed Kitsunegasaki Yangu-randomae Station in 1968 and finally simplified back to Kitsunegasaki Station in 1985. Today the station has a single island platform with automated turnstiles supporting LuLuCa, PiTaPa, and ICOCA cards.
