History

Ryokuentoshi Station opened on 8 April 1976 with the inauguration of the Sagami Railway (Sotetsu) Izumino Line; its name was chosen to evoke a comfortable town full of greenery, the provisional name during planning having been Koyasu. Built in a valley between the Makigahara and Okazu tunnels, the station was originally configured for eight-car trains; its platforms were later extended to handle ten-car formations. It became a rapid-service stop on 27 February 1999 and a commuter-express stop from 30 November 2019, after through-running to JR began. The station was designated one of the Kantō region's 100 selected stations in 1997 for its observation deck, gallery and garden, and platform-edge doors entered service on 22 January 2023. The station carries number SO32.

Notes

The platform was originally built to an eight-car length, shorter than the ten-car platforms elsewhere on the Izumino Line, and Sotetsu held the surrounding land for never-built passing tracks; that reserved space is now planted with oleander and azaleas as a 'garden observation deck'.
