Location

History

Minami-Furuya Station opened on 22 July 1940 on the Kawagoe Line in what is now Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture. Freight handling ended in March 1963 and parcel service in February 1984. On 30 September 1985 the Kawagoe Line was electrified and through-running with the Saikyō Line commenced, with this station handling signalling for the route. Operation passed to JR East at the 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways. Suica use began in November 2001, and from December 2021 the station became a managed sub-station of Kawagoe with passenger operations contracted to JR East Station Services. A temporary station building was placed in service on 2 November 2025 ahead of the station's conversion to an overhead (bridge-type) station building.

Notes

The station signals all stops on the Kawagoe Line even though operationally it is a sub-station of Kawagoe; land on the south side of the main line, running from the depot to the station, has been set aside for a future double-tracking that has yet to be firmed up.
