Station history
Futagawa Station was opened on April 7, 1896 on the Japanese Government Railway (JGR) Tōkaidō Line. The JGR became the JNR after World War II. Freight service was discontinued in 1971 and small parcel service from 1979. Along with the division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control and operation of the Central Japan Railway Company. A new station building was completed from 2000-2002 (JR Tōkai). Automated turnstiles using the TOICA IC Card system came into operation from November 25, 2006.
Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Tōkaidō Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Futagawa Station was assigned station number CA41.{{Cite web |date=13 December 2017 |title=在来線駅に駅ナンバリングを導入します |trans-title=Introducing station numbering to conventional line stations |url=https://jr-central.co.jp/news/release/_pdf/000035928.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230118061935/https://jr-central.co.jp/news/release/_pdf/000035928.pdf |archive-date=18 January 2023 |access-date=27 February 2023 |website=jr-central.co.jp |language=ja}}{{Cite web |date=14 December 2017 |title=JR東海，在来線に駅ナンバリングを導入 |trans-title=JR Tokai Introduces Station Numbering to Conventional Lines |url=https://railf.jp/news/2017/12/14/052000.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101052707/https://railf.jp/news/2017/12/14/052000.html |archive-date=1 November 2020 |access-date=28 February 2023 |website=Japan Railfan Magazine Online |language=ja}}
