History
Shikiji Station opened on 1 June 1940 when the Japan National Railways Futamata Line was extended from Enshū-Mori Station to Kanasashi, in what is now Iwata, Shizuoka Prefecture. Scheduled freight handling ended in August 1962, and the station was unstaffed from June 1970. With the Futamata Line's transfer to third-sector operation on 15 March 1987 it came under the Tenryū Hamanako Railroad. The station sits 18.9 kilometres from Kakegawa and has a single side platform serving a bi-directional track, with a small wooden building that has doubled as Toyooka-Shikiji Simple Post Office since 14 May 2012.
