Shimo-Togari Station (下土狩駅) in Nagaizumi, Shizuoka, is a surface station run by Central Japan Railway Company. It opened on 15 June 1898 as Mishima Station (三島駅).
History
The station opened on 15 June 1898 as the first Mishima Station (三島駅), a government railway station for passengers and freight. The Zusō Railway (豆相鉄道) connected to it from Mishima-machi. On 19 July 1907 the Zusō line passed to the Izu Railway (伊豆鉄道), and later operators followed. On 12 October 1909 the government line through here was named the Tokaido Main Line. On 25 May 1919 the station area of the Izu Railway was electrified.
The station was renamed Shimo-Togari on 1 October 1934. On 1 December 1934 the Atami to Numazu section opened with a new second Mishima Station on it, and the start of the Izu line moved there. The Tokaido Line section between Kōzu and Numazu via here became the Gotemba Line. The Gotemba Line was made single track on 11 July 1943.
The Gotemba to Numazu section was electrified on 1 July 1968. In the freight years a freight platform and silos stood south of the station building, and 永倉精麦 mainly shipped freight. Wagon freight handling stopped on 15 November 1982. Luggage handling ended on 1 February 1984. JR Central took over on 1 April 1987.
TOICA became usable on 13 March 2010. An elevator came into use on 23 March 2013. On 12 February 2017 a new station building opened after a rebuild that made it smaller (減築建替え).
