Lines
editShiozaki Station is served by the Chūō Main Line, and is 142.7 km (88.7 mi) from the terminus of the line at Tokyo Station
Layout
editShiozaki Station has two elevated opposed side platforms, which were on an embankment at a higher level than the station building, and which were not connected by an overpass or level crossing. Changing platforms required leaving the station and crossing a public road and reentering. In 2014, the city of Kai and JR East built a new station building which eliminated the height difference, making it a barrier-free station. The station is staffed.

Automated turnstiles using the Suica IC Card system came into operation from October 16, 2004. A new station building was completed in 2014.[1]。
