History
Sekinomiya Station opened on 20 January 1938 as a station on the Japan Government Railways line that later became JNR's Meishō Line. Parcel handling, which had begun on 1 October 1947 when through-passenger restrictions were lifted, was discontinued on 15 December 1951. With the division and privatisation of Japan National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Central (JR Tōkai), which still operates it today. The station consists of a single side platform serving bi-directional traffic, with only a rain shelter in place of a building, and is unstaffed; in fiscal 2019 it averaged 11 passengers boarding daily.
