History
Chūbu-Tenryū Station was opened on November 11, 1934. The initial plans called for the station to eventually be joined by a spur line to Tenryū-Futamata Station on the Tenryū Hamanako Line. On August 1, 1943, the Sanshin Railway was nationalized along with several other local lines to form the Iida line. All freight services were discontinued in 1982 Along with its division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control and operation of the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central). The station was originally named Sakuma Station (the name presently used by the next station), was renamed in 1935 to Nakappe-Tenryū Station, and again at the time of nationalization to Chūbu-Tenryū Station (only due to a change in pronunciation of the kanji name).[1]
The station was formerly home to the Sakuma Rail Park, a museum with exhibits on the Japanese railway system in general, and the Iida line in particular, including numerous examples of locomotives and rolling stock.[2] The rail park closed in November 2010.
