Location
History
Maruyama Station opened on 22 December 1983 with the start of the Saitama New Urban Transit Ina Line (New Shuttle), built beneath the elevated structure near the point where the Jōetsu and Tōhoku Shinkansen lines diverge. The Ina Line is double-tracked south of Maruyama towards Ōmiya and single-tracked north towards Uchijuku. The line's rolling-stock depot and the operator's headquarters sit on land adjacent to the station on the east side. The station has two platforms and three tracks, and some trains terminate and turn back here. The Suica IC card became usable on 18 March 2007.
Notes
The Tōhoku and Jōetsu Shinkansen diverge just south of Maruyama, and Saitama New Urban Transit's depot occupies the triangular plot beneath the V, on the same parcel as the station and the operator's headquarters. There the Jōetsu Shinkansen crosses over the Tōhoku Shinkansen on a huge two-tier viaduct, and the Ina Line's running lines and depot-access track thread between its piers — three tiers of viaduct once the New Shuttle itself is counted.
