• Odakyu Odawara Line: Hotaruda ⇄ Odawara

Ashigara Station opened on 1 April 1927 at Ōgi-chō, Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, as a station on the Odakyū Odawara Line, originally serving as a stop for the "Direct" service (each-station services then ran only between Shinjuku and Inada-Noborito, today's Mukōgaoka-Yūen). When the all-line each-station service began in June 1945 the "Direct" was abolished and Ashigara became an each-station stop, then a Junkyū (semi-express) stop from 1 October 1946 and a Commuter Junkyū stop from 25 March 1960; Commuter Junkyū ended in 1964. Some Kyūkō (express) trains began stopping from 22 March 1983. Freight handling — and the Japan Monopoly Corporation siding that served the nearby factory — ended on 31 January 1984. After the 15 March 2008 timetable revision removed Junkyū services west of Shin-Matsuda, the station lost its Junkyū stop, and the 17 March 2018 revision similarly removed it from the Kyūkō stopping pattern (because Kyūkō trains between Odawara and Hon-Atsugi now switch from each-station service at Shin-Matsuda). The station was rebuilt during 2008. The station number OH 46 was assigned in January 2014.

When the station opened in 1927 a nearby place name had been intended for it, but the syllables were felt to ring badly and "Ashigara" — both the name of the surrounding village (Ashigara-shimo District, Ashigara Village) and a traditional poetic epithet (makurakotoba) for Hakone — was adopted instead.
