Station history

Uenohara Station first opened on August 1, 1901, as a station for both freight and passenger service on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Chūō Main Line. The JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR) after the end of World War II. 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. All express trains passed the station from March 2017. In January 2018, the Midori no Madoguchi ticket office ceased operations.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 5041 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[1] Uenohara is the third busiest station in Yamanashi Prefecture after Kōfu and Ōtsuki.
