Location
History
Hazawa Yokohama-Kokudai Station opened on 30 November 2019 as a joint Sōtetsu/JR East station serving the new Sōtetsu–JR Link Line, built within the existing JR Freight Yokohama-Hazawa freight yard. The name, finalised by Sōtetsu on 11 December 2017, combines the Hazawa locality with the nearby Yokohama National University (Yokohama Kokudai). On 18 March 2023 the Sōtetsu Shin-Yokohama Line was extended from here to Shin-Yokohama, opening through running with the Tōkyū Shin-Yokohama Line. Construction had been delayed because cut-over work on the busy Tōkaidō Freight Line could only proceed in the short daily gaps between trains and, for the large-scale track rearrangements, during Golden Week and the year-end holidays. The underground station has two side platforms and was built on a site with a water table about two metres below the surface, requiring soil-mixing-wall cut-off walls and preloaded strut bracing to avoid subsidence in the surrounding district.
Notes
Because the station's fare-calculation neighbour on the JR side is Tsurumi (skipped by every train that stops here), an oddity arises whereby the fare from this station to Tsurumi or to Kokudō Station (210 yen) is cheaper than the fare to Musashi-Kosugi (350 yen), the actual next operational stop.
