• JR Musashino Line: Higashi-Kawaguchi ⇄ Minami-Urawa

Higashi-Urawa Station opened on 1 April 1973 in present-day Midori-ku, Saitama, as a Musashino Line stop and was one of twelve stations chosen to pilot automated ticket gates from the outset. The line was originally planned to interchange here with a future Toshi Kōsoku Tetsudō Line 7 (now the Saitama Rapid Railway Line), but in 1985 the route was redrawn northward and the interchange role passed to neighbouring Higashi-Kawaguchi. The station passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987 and gained Suica IC card service on 18 November 2001. The Midori no Madoguchi ticket office closed in September 2018 ahead of contracted operation.

Higashi-Urawa-to-Minami-Urawa is the most congested segment of the Musashino Line: morning rush congestion reached 173% in fiscal 2018.
