Location

History

Soka Station opened on 27 August 1899 when Tobu Railway inaugurated its line between Kita-Senju and Kuki. The original ground-level layout was replaced by an elevated structure, with the down platform entering service in November 1985 and the up platform in November 1986; quadruple-tracking between Takenotsuka and Soka was completed on 9 August 1988 and pushed further to Koshigaya in March 1997. Departure melodies arrived in December 2010, and Tobu added station number TS 16 on 17 March 2012. Platform-edge doors entered service on the local tracks in February 2024 and on the express tracks in March 2025, and from March 2024 some Soka-origin and Soka-terminating services were reinstated.

Notes

Platform tracks are numbered 2 through 5 because the two outer tracks are non-stop through-lines; the station appears to have only four tracks but actually has six.
