Lines

Fujioka Station is served by the JR Tōkai Gotemba Line, and is located 40.6 kilometers from the official starting point of the line at Kōzu.

Station layout

Fujioka Station has a single island platform. The station was originally located on a switchback, which was eliminated when the line was electrified in 1968, and the platform realigned; a vestigial remnant of the former switchback is retained as a side track to the north of the station.　The original side platform was rebuilt as an island platform in 1989. The station building has automated ticket machines, TOICA automated turnstiles and a "Midori no Madoguchi" ticket office, and is manned only during daytime hours. It is connected to the platform with a footbridge.
