JR Central Kanayama Station
Summarize
Perspective
JR Central Kanayama Station is one of the stations within Kanayama Station, and the second one to have been opened, on 25 January 1962, after Meitetsu Kanayama. It is a main stop on the Chūō Main Line and the Tōkaidō Main Line. On the Tōkaidō Main Line, there is a rapid train known as the Home Liner, and on the Chūō Main Line, there is a rapid train known as the Central Liner. There is a special wicket that allows passengers to transfer from JR lines to Meitetsu lines, which is possible because the Meitetsu tracks are within the JR tracks. There is also a staffed ticket office.[4]
Station numbering was introduced to the sections of the Tōkaidō and Chuo Lines operated JR Central in March 2018; Kanayama Station was assigned station number CA66 for the Tōkaidō Line and CF01 for the Chuo Line.[5][6]
