History

Hara Station opened on 25 February 1900 as part of the Tōkaidō Main Line extension between Numazu and Suzukawa (today's Yoshiwara), in what was then Hara-juku on the historic Tōkaidō. The current second-generation wooden station building dates from 1948 and the Numazu-Shizuoka section was electrified in 1949. Regular freight handling ended in 1984, the last freight-train service was withdrawn on 22 March 1997, and JR Central took over operations at the 1987 privatisation alongside JR Freight. TOICA went live in March 2008, and on 1 June 2025 the station became unstaffed under JR Central's Customer Support Service.

Notes

Beside the wooden station building stands a brick lamp shed in Flemish bond, said to date from the station's 1900 opening.
