Ippommatsu

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Ippommatsu Station opened on 16 December 1934. It stands on the Tobu Ogose Line, a single-track branch line of the private Tobu Railway linking Sakado and Ogose in Saitama Prefecture. It originally had just a single platform; a second platform and track were added later, creating a passing loop where trains can cross. The station takes its name from Ippommatsu ("single pine") Crossing, a five-way road junction about 150 metres to the northwest that was named in the Edo period for a lone pine tree standing there. Station codes reached the Ogose Line on 17 March 2012, and Ippommatsu has carried TJ-41 ever since. Located in Tsurugashima city near the Sakado boundary, it remains a stop between Sakado and Nishi-Ōya.

The pine tree that gave the station its name was locally known as the "Looking-Back Pine" (見返りの松), because Edo-period travelers on the Nikko back road were said to turn around for one more look at it as they passed; plans to widen the roads crossing at the junction arose around the time of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and the tree was felled in line with those plans.
