Kinomiya Station, Railway station in Atami, Japan
Kinomiya Station is a railway station in Atami with one island platform connected to the main building via an underground passage. The facility manages two tracks for service along the Ito Line.
The station opened on March 30, 1935, upon completion of the Ito Line section connecting Atami to the Ajiro district. This extension represented a significant step in regional rail development.
This station represents the zero-kilometer point of the Ito Line, despite the line officially starting at Atami Station, reflecting Japanese railway planning traditions.
The unmanned station provides basic transit services without on-site staff presence. Visitors should familiarize themselves with schedules and use self-service options, as no counter assistance is available.
The ground beneath the station contains materials from the Tanna Tunnel excavation, incorporated during construction over 80 years ago. This reuse reflects early sustainable building practices in Japanese railway history.
