Kasumigaseki (Saitama)

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

The station opened on 27 October 1916 as Matoba Station with the Tōjō Railway's extension from Kawagoe to Sakado-machi. It was renamed Kasumigaseki on 14 January 1930 after the Kasumigaseki Country Club opened nearby in 1929; the name itself goes back to the historic Kasumigaseki barrier on the Kamakura-kaidō, from which the surrounding village had taken its name. The original "Matoba" name was later reassigned to a Kawagoe Line station in 1940. A prefecturally operated spur to an Iruma River gravel pit closed in 1957. An elevated station building replaced the former two-storey building and its underground passage in 2005, and a north entrance with a forecourt was added in 2006. Station numbering as TJ-23 began on 17 March 2012, and the March 2023 timetable upgraded the stop to a Rapid Express service stop.

This station is the older of the two and has borne the name Kasumigaseki since 1930, but travellers still confuse it with the Kasumigaseki Station in Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda, Tokyo, so a notice at the staffed ticket gate tells them that this is not the Tokyo station.
