History
editHara Station was opened on February 25, 1900 as part of the expansion of the Tōkaidō Main Line from Numazu Station to Yoshiwara Station. The original station building was rebuilt in 1948. Regularly scheduled freight services were discontinued from 1984, and charter freight from 1997; however, freight services continue along a privately held spur line to a freight terminal owned by Taiheiyo Cement a short distance from Hara Station. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Central.[1]
Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Tōkaidō Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Hara Station was assigned station number CA05.[2][3]
Passenger statistics
editIn fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 2328 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[4]
