History

Suzumenomiya Station opened on 6 July 1895 as a station on Nippon Railway, in what is today the Suzumenomiya district of Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture. The line was nationalised on 1 November 1906 and joined the Tohoku Main Line on the 1909 naming reform. Parcel handling ended on 1 October 1971 and freight on 1 October 1980. The station passed to East Japan Railway Company on 1 April 1987. Suica integrated-circuit ticketing began on 18 November 2001. The current bridge-over-track depot, opened on 26 March 2011, sits above two side platforms and an out-of-use island platform, with a free concourse linking east and west sides.

Notes

The 7.7-kilometre gap to neighbouring Utsunomiya Station is the fourth-longest between adjacent stops anywhere on the Tohoku Main Line.
