Shiozaki Station (塩崎駅, Shiozaki-eki) is a railway station of Chūō Main Line, East Japan Railway Company (JR East) in Shimoimai, in the city of Kai, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.
Lines[edit]
Shiozaki Station is served by the Chūō Main Line, and is 142.7 km (88.7 mi) from the terminus of the line at Tokyo Station
Layout[edit]
Shiozaki Station has two elevated opposed side platforms, which were on an embankment at a higher level than the station building, and which were not connected by an overpass or level crossing. Changing platforms required leaving the station and crossing a public road and reentering. In 2014, the city of Kai and JR East built a new station building which eliminated the height difference, making it a barrier-free station. The station is staffed.

History[edit]
Shiozaki Station opened on December 15, 1951 as a passenger station on the JNR (Japanese National Railways). With the dissolution and privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the East Japan Railway Company. Automated turnstiles using the Suica IC Card system came into operation from October 16, 2004. A new station building was completed in 2014.[1]。
Passenger statistics[edit]
In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 1,120 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]
