History

Gakunan-Fujioka Station opened on 20 December 1951 as part of the Gakunan Railway, when the line was extended from the original Yoshiwara terminus. Operation transferred to Gakunan Electric Train on 1 April 2013. A long-disused electric locomotive yard alongside the station was reopened as the "Gakutetsu Locomotive Square" public exhibit on 21 August 2021, displaying four electric locomotives — ED291, ED501, ED402 and ED403 — that previously hauled freight on the line. To accompany the exhibit, the station gained the subsidiary name "Gakutetsu Kikansha Hiroba-mae". The station is staffed only during the morning commute and uses an island platform with two tracks.

Notes

The four electric locomotives displayed in the 2021 "Gakutetsu Locomotive Square" exhibit were re-painted to their freight-era liveries, and the cooperating preservation society raised the pantographs against intentionally de-energised overhead wires to recreate the original working appearance.
