History

Higashi-Shizuoka Station opened on 30 October 1998 as part of an urban renewal redevelopment of a portion of the former Higashi-Shizuoka Freight Terminal. A large-scale convention center next to the train station opened in 1999. These developments were intended to encourage further investment towards the east of Shizuoka city center. Development of the area since the opening of the station has included a number of apartment blocks, a large shopping center, and an onsen.

Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Tōkaidō Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Higashi-Shizuoka Station was assigned station number CA16.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 8,400 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).
