Mishima Station, Railway and high-speed train station in Mishima, Japan
Mishima Station is an elevated railway junction and terminus for high-speed trains in the city of the same name. The terminal has two island platforms for regional trains and a separate area for Shinkansen trains on the Tokaido line running in both directions.
The terminal opened in December 1934 under government railway administration and served as one of the regional transport junctions at the time. Connection to the Shinkansen network came in 1969 and expanded the reach of the station considerably toward east and west.
Writer Yukio Mishima chose his pen name after his editor glimpsed Mount Fuji's snowy peak from the platform. This link between literary history and the terminal gives the station a special meaning for those interested in culture.
The station building has automated ticket machines and staffed counters, and signage is provided in both Japanese and English. Inside the complex, the ASTY shopping center offers shops and dining options for travelers waiting between connections or looking for quick errands.
More than 30,000 passengers use the terminal daily, serving as a key transfer point for trips to Mount Fuji and the Hakone region. In addition to rail connections, the station area offers bus lines taking travelers directly to tourist destinations in the surrounding area.
