History
Gendōji Station began as Gendōji Signaling Depot (源道寺停留場, Gendōji singoba) on December 25, 1930, as part of the original Minobu Line. When the line was leased to the national government from October 1, 1938, it was elevated to Gendōji Station for both passenger and freight services. It came under control of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on May 1, 1941. The JGR became the JNR (Japan National Railway) after the end of World War II. Freight services were discontinued in 1971, the same year that the tracks from Fuji to Fujinomiya were expanded to a double track system. Along with the division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control and operation of the Central Japan Railway Company.
Station numbering was introduced to the Minobu Line in March 2018; Gendōji Station was assigned station number CC05.[1][2]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 823 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[3]
