Saruhashi Station

Saruhashi Station (猿橋駅, Saruhashi-eki) is a railway station of the Chūō Main Line, East Japan Railway Company (JR East) in the city of Ōtsuki, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.

Saruhashi Station was opened on October 1, 1902, as a passenger and freight station on the Japanese National Railways (JNR) Chūō Main Line.

The name of the station was originally Eikyo-eki, but changed to its present pronunciation of the same kanji on August 1, 1918.

With the dissolution and privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the East Japan Railway Company.

Automated turnstiles using the Suica IC Card system came into operation from November 18, 2001.
