Shonan

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Shōnan Station opened on 22 December 1983 with the start of the Saitama New Urban Transit Ina Line (New Shuttle), and carries station code NS08. It is an elevated station with two side platforms and two tracks, sitting just short of the point where the Tōhoku and Jōetsu Shinkansen diverge on the Maruyama side. The station name derives from Haraichi Marsh and the Haraichinuma River, which lie to the north between Shōnan and Maruyama; the surrounding district was the centre of the former town of Haraichi-machi, now part of Ageo. In April 2004 it became the first intermediate station on the Ina Line to receive lifts, installed under Ageo City's accessibility policy because the platforms here sit higher above the street than at any other intermediate station on the line. The Suica IC card became usable on 18 March 2007, and an LCD departure display was installed near the ticket gate on 21 July 2017.

Shōnan was the first non-terminal stop on the New Shuttle to get an elevator — installed in 2004 because the platform was further above street level than at any other intermediate station on the Ina Line.
