Station history

Kyōwa Station was opened on December 7, 1933, as a passenger station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Tōkaidō Main Line. The station was closed on November 1, 1940, and reopened on July 11, 1945, but only for seasonal operations. The JGR became the Japan National Railway (JNR) after World War II. Full passenger operations did not resume until September 1, 1951. With the privatization and dissolution of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the Central Japan Railway Company. Automatic turnstiles were installed in May 1992, and the TOICA system of magnetic fare cards was implemented in October 2007.

Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Tōkaidō Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Kyōwa Station was assigned station number CA61.[1][2]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2018, the station was used by an average of 9666 passengers daily.[3]
