Sakuragi (Shizuoka)

No publicly available departure data for this station.

Sakuragi Station opened on 17 April 1935 as Tōtōmi-Sakuragi Station, a general station handling both passengers and freight, at Tonbe, Kakegawa, Shizuoka, when the Ministry of Railways' Futamata Line was inaugurated from Kakegawa to Tōtōmi-Mori. Freight handling ceased on 15 November 1971. On 15 March 1987 the Futamata Line was converted to a third-sector railway and the station passed to the Tenryū Hamanako Railroad and was renamed Sakuragi. The station became unstaffed on 1 November 2009. On 26 January 2011 the station building and the upbound platform structure adjoining it were registered as Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan. On 7 November 2022 Yamaha acquired naming rights for the station, with the subsidiary name "Sakuragi (Home of Yamaha Pianos)" applied through 31 March 2025.

About 200 metres south of the station lies the Yamaha Kakegawa Factory complex, the reason the station carries Yamaha's "Home of Yamaha Pianos" subsidiary name under the 2022 naming-rights deal. The down-side exit, separate from the main station building, opens directly toward the Yamaha plant.
