History
Futagawa Station opened on 7 April 1896 on the Japanese Government Railway's Tōkaidō Line, eight years after the Hamamatsu–Ōbu segment passed through the area without a station. Local petitions in 1889 and 1893 produced this halt, sited about a kilometre south of the former Edo-period Futagawa-juku post town. The original wooden building remained in service for over a century, making it the oldest on the Tōkaidō Main Line until ageing forced its replacement: an overhead station building opened on 3 February 2002 and a north–south free-passage corridor opened that April. With the JNR breakup on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Central, TOICA fare-card service began on 25 November 2006, and station numbering CA41 was introduced in March 2018.
