Station history
[edit]Sangane Station was opened on March 20, 1967, as a station on the Japan National Railway (JNR), after petitions by local residents over a period of more than seventeen years.
Although the station was located in Fukozu, the station's name was changed to Sangane due to the fact that the name Fukozu was considered hard to read, and because it was close to Mt.Sangane. However, after the ropeway to the mountain was closed in 1976, and the Meitetsu Bus line connecting the station and the ropeway were also closed, the station no longer functions as the gateway to Mt.Sangane.[1] Automated turnstiles using the TOICA IC Card system came into operation from November 25, 2006.
Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Tōkaidō Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Sangane Station was assigned station number CA49[2][3]
Passenger statistics
[edit]In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 965 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[4]
