History
Tennōchō Station opened on 10 September 1930 on what is today the Sōtetsu Main Line. The station building was destroyed in the Yokohama Air Raid on 29 May 1945, and rebuilt on 31 May 1948. The current elevated station building was completed on 27 March 1968, and until the 2017 elevation of the down platform at neighbouring Hoshikawa it was the only elevated station on the main line. The continuous grade-separation project between Tennōchō and Hoshikawa eliminated the long-blocked grade crossing on 24 November 2018. On 29 May 2021 a new YBP gate was opened on the Hoshikawa side, the previous gate was renamed East Gate, and Tennōchō became Sōtetsu's first station to add a secondary name (Yokohama Business Park-mae). Platform doors entered service on 22 October 2023.
Notes
Hiroshige's woodblock print of Hodogaya, from his series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō, depicts the bridge over the original course of the Katabira River — directly in front of what is today Tennōchō Station's south side.
