Konosu

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

Kōnosu Station opened on 28 July 1883 as a Nippon Railway stop in present-day Honchō, Kōnosu, Saitama — one of the stations in service from the Takasaki Line's first day, alongside Ueno, Urawa, Ageo and Kumagaya (Ōji was also open at the time). A 1979 proposal to modernise it with an overhead station building drew an opposition campaign from the local disability group Takakukei, which objected to the extra steps it would create, but the overhead station was completed in June 1982. Freight handling ended in 1980, parcel handling in 1985, and a "Midori no Madoguchi" ticket office opened in March 1986. The station joined JR East at the 1987 JNR breakup, gained automatic ticket gates in January 1995, Suica acceptance in November 2001, and a lift, refurbished toilets and the "Elumi Kōnosu" shopping mall in 2007–2008.

The departure melody is "HANDS — from big hands to little hands —" by Kōnosu-born singer-songwriter Yurika Mine.
