Yamakita Station

Yamakita Station (山北駅, Yamakita-eki) is a passenger railway station located in south-east Yamakita, Kanagawa, Japan, operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central).

A JNR Class D52 steam locomotive is preserved in a park near the station.

It was designated a station of the Tōkaidō Main Line on November 12, 1909.

However, with the opening of the Tanna Tunnel and the development of more powerful steam locomotives, Yamakita Station gradually decreased in importance.

On April 1, 1987 along with privatization and division of JNR, the station came under control of JR Central.
