History
Shiojiri Station opened on 15 December 1902,[2] initially as the terminal of a Chuo Line extension from Matsumoto. The station was relocated in 1982, with the old station being converted to a classification yard. With the 1987 privatization of the Japanese National Railways, the station was assigned to the control of the East Japan Railway Company. Station numbering was introduced by JR East from February 2025, with CO61 for Chuo Main Line (Chuo East Line) and SN01 for Shinonoi Line.[3]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2015, the station was used by an average of 3,981 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[4]
