Location
History
Sagami-Ōtsuka Station opened on 12 May 1926 as a station of the privately owned Jinchū Railway, on a site near today's Sagamino Station. Around 1943 it was moved to a point about fifty metres on the Ebina side of its present location, and on 17 August 1975 it moved again to the present site and was rebuilt with an overhead station building. An out-of-service 3000-series (second generation) train was involved in a points accident in the storage sidings on 16 December 1998; judged beyond repair, it was scrapped the following year. Platform doors entered service on 16 January 2022.
Notes
The station's name comes from the "Sagami Ōtsuka kofun," an ancient burial mound said to have stood near the original 1926 station site. The grounds at Sagami-Ōtsuka include a 9-track storage yard, and every March around the birthday of Sotetsu's mascot character "Sounyan" (the Sunday closest to 10 March), the railway holds an annual "Sounyan Birthday Festa in Sagami-Ōtsuka" event with photo opportunities of new and old Sounyan-themed trains and special merchandise sales.
