Station History

edit

Enshūbyōin Station was established on June 1, 1958 as Entetsu Hamamatsu Station (遠鉄浜松駅, Entetsu Hamamatsu-eki), the original terminal station for the Enshū Railway Line. The current Shin-Hamamatsu Station is located on what was formerly the rail yard. The station was renamed as Enshū-Byōin-mae Station (遠州病院前駅, Enshū-Byōin-mae-eki) in 1985 and renamed to its present name in 2007. In April 2007, the Enshū Hospital, after which the station was named, was relocated; however, the station name was not changed.
