History
Higashi-Hanawa Station was opened on March 30, 1928 as a station on the Fuji-Minobu Line. The line came under control of the Japanese Government Railways on May 1, 1941. The station building was reconstructed in 1950. The JGR became the JNR (Japan National Railway) after World War II. Along with the division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the joint control and operation of the Central Japan Railway Company and the Japan Freight Railway Company. However, scheduled freight operations were discontinued from September 29, 1998 and the freight handling facilities were abandoned by March 31, 2001.
