Location

History

Shin-Tokorozawa Station opened on 11 June 1951 in the city of Tokorozawa, Saitama, originally under the name Kita-Tokorozawa Station. It was renamed Shin-Tokorozawa, meaning "New Tokorozawa", on 1 February 1959. Operated by Seibu Railway, the station sits 31.7 km from the Seibu Shinjuku terminus along the 47.5 km Seibu Shinjuku Line, between Kōkū-kōen and Iriso. All trains except Limited Express Koedo services stop here. Station numbering was introduced across Seibu lines during fiscal 2012, with Shin-Tokorozawa assigned SS24.

Notes

From August 2013 the Tokorozawa end of platform 1 hosted a one-car-length trial of the Dokodemo Saku platform-edge door for a period of approximately eight months; the system was developed jointly by the University of Tokyo and Kobe Steel for use with trains having three or four doors per car.
