Location
History
Gōra Station opened on 1 June 1919 as the upper terminus of the Hakone Tozan Line. The connecting Hakone Tozan Cable Car, which it now also serves, began running on 1 December 1921, had its operations suspended from 11 February 1944 to 1 July 1950, and resumed thereafter. The present alpine-lodge-style station building opened on 16 April 1977 and was named to the Kanto Top 100 Stations selection in 1997. Operation transferred to Odakyu Hakone on 1 April 2024 as part of an Odakyu Group restructure of its Hakone-area businesses.
Notes
At 541 m above sea level the station holds the altitude record for ordinary railway stations in Kanagawa Prefecture; the placard formerly read 553 m before a 2013 re-survey corrected the figure.
