Location
History
Kita-Asaka Station opened on 1 April 1973 as a Japanese National Railways stop on the Musashino Line, and was one of the line’s twelve original stations equipped on a trial basis with automatic fare gates. Tobu’s Asakadai Station opened next door on 6 August 1974, making it a major interchange. JR East inherited the station at privatisation on 1 April 1987, and Suica use began on 18 November 2001. On 13 December 2014 the platform was extended 40 metres toward Nishi-Urawa to allow stopping positions to be offset and ease crowding. A "talking" reserved-seat ticket machine arrived on 1 September 2022, and Midori-no-Madoguchi was converted to a temporary window.
Notes
The departure melody is an arrangement of “Atsumare! Odoribito,” the mass-dance theme of Asaka’s Saika Festival. Planned by the festival committee in 2017, it was at first used only during the festival season, and has played year-round since July 2023.
