Location
History
Nagatsuta Station opened on 23 September 1908 with the inauguration of the privately operated Yokohama Railway between Higashi-Kanagawa and Hachioji. The line was leased to the Railway Bureau in 1910 and nationalised in 1917, becoming part of the Government Railways' Yokohama Line. Tokyu's Den-en-toshi Line reached Nagatsuta on 1 April 1966, and the Kodomonokuni Line — built on a former wartime army-arsenal spur — opened the following year. After JNR privatisation in 1987 the JR platforms passed to JR East and JR Freight. Yokohama Line station numbering JH21 was introduced on 20 August 2016.
Notes
The Kodomonokuni Line that branches off here began as a 1942 army spur to the Tana Unit shell-filling plant of the Imperial Japanese Army's Tokyo Ordnance Supply Depot — the same site is now the Kodomonokuni (Children's Land) park.
