Shimo-Togari Station (下土狩駅 Shimo-Togari-eki?) is a railway station on the Gotemba Line in the south of Nagaizumi, Shizuoka, Japan, operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central).

Shimo-Togari Station is served by the Gotemba Line.

This station has a single island platform. The station building is to the east of tracks and connected to the platform with an overpass. It has automated ticket machines, TOICA automated turnstiles, and a "Midori no Madoguchi" ticket counter staffed only during daytime hours.

The station first opened on June 15, 1898 as Mishima Station on the original route of the Tōkaidō Main Line under the Japanese Government Railways. It was renamed Shimo-Togari Station on October 1, 1934 shortly before the opening of the Tanna Tunnel created a more direct route from Atami to Numazu and led to the creation of a new Mishima Station further south. JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR) from 1946. Regularly scheduled freight operations were suspended from 1982. Along with privatization and division of JNR, JR Central started operating the station from April 1, 1987.
