Station history

The Danta Signal Stop (善太信号場, Danta-shingojo) was established on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Kansai Line on June 1, 1927. This was elevated to become Eiwa Station on February 1, 1929. The JGR became the JNR(Japan National Railways) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued from October 15, 1950. With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of JR Central. Automatic ticket gates using the TOICA smart card were installed from November 25, 2006.

Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Kansai Main Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Eiwa Station was assigned station number CI04.[1][2]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 2,384 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[3]
