Shin-Shizuoka Station (新静岡駅 Shin-Shizuoka-eki?) is a terminal train station of the Shizuoka-Shimizu Line in Aoi-ku, Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is located within the Shin-Shizuoka Cenova shopping complex.
Shin-Shizuoka Station was opened on December 9, 1908 as Takajōmachi Station (鷹匠町駅 Takajōmachi-eki?). It was renamed “Shin-Shizuoka” on October 1, 1954. Shizuoka’s city tram system was discontinued in September 1962, and a large bus terminal was established at Shin-Shizuoka Station on May 10, 1966. The Shin-Shizuoka Center department store above the station was opened on May 15, 1966. This was closed and demolished at the end of January 2009, and a new, larger shopping complex called Cenova opened October 5, 2011.
Shin-Shizuoka Station has two island platforms serving three tracks. The station building has automated ticket machines, and automated turnstiles, which accept the LuLuCa smart card ticketing system as well as the PiTaPa and ICOCA IC cards.
