History
Fukuroi Station opened on 16 April 1889 with the completion of the Tōkaidō Main Line segment linking Shizuoka with Hamamatsu, in what is today Fukuroi, Shizuoka Prefecture, and sits 238.1 km from the line’s official Tokyo terminus. Between 1902 and 1962 it also served as an interchange with the Shizuoka Railway’s Akiha Line, providing a transfer to a now-defunct local network. Regular freight handling was discontinued on 21 January 1984. The station is operated today by JR Central and has two island platforms connected by a footbridge that doubles as an elevated station building; the outer two tracks are normally idle and are pressed into service only during summer-festival peaks. Station numbering as CA29 was introduced for JR Central’s Tōkaidō Line section in March 2018.
