Station history
[edit]Maisaka Station was opened on September 1, 1888 when the section of the Tōkaidō Main Line connecting Hamamatsu Station with Ōbu Station was completed.

Regularly scheduled freight service was discontinued in 1971.
Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Tōkaidō Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Maisaka Station was assigned station number CA36.[1][2]
