History
Shin-Akitsu Station opened on 1 April 1973 as a Japanese National Railways station on the Musashino Line in Higashimurayama, Tokyo. It was one of twelve stations where automatic ticket gates were first trialled. Originally known by the placeholder name Shin-Murayama during planning, the stop became part of East Japan Railway Company on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of JNR. Suica service began on 18 November 2001. The green window ticket office closed on 31 January 2023 and a "Talking Reserved Seat Ticket Machine" took its place the following day. The Beans Annex Shin-Akitsu commercial complex opened above the station on 1 November 2012.
Notes
A short connecting track runs from the western end of the station to the Seibu Ikebukuro Line in the direction of Tokorozawa; laid in 1976 when the Musashino freight line opened, it took over the JNR–Seibu freight-car interchange, and today it carries new Seibu rolling stock deliveries, cars being transferred to regional private railways or hauled to manufacturers for refurbishment, and the Seibu Tamagawa Line's cars — cut off from the rest of the Seibu network — which travel over it via Hachiōji and Musashisakai for works inspections.
