Tetsudo Hakubutsukan

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

The station opened on 22 December 1983 as Ōnari Station on the Saitama New Urban Transit Ina Line (New Shuttle), 1.5 km from the Ōmiya terminus. Suica use began on 18 March 2007, and on 14 October 2007 the station was renamed Tetsudō-Hakubutsukan to coincide with the opening of the adjacent Railway Museum. The rename was accompanied by major works that widened the platform, installed escalators and elevators, enlarged the concourse and added automatic ticket gates and a ticket window; separately, Saitama City set aside a budget of 1.3 billion yen that fiscal year and spent two years on barrier-free improvements and station-forecourt works, so that the concourse and the museum entrance were laid out as a single whole. "Ōnari" remains as a parenthetical secondary name.

On the transaction histories displayed and printed by Suica, PASMO and other compatible IC cards, the station appears in abbreviated form as "鉄道博物" rather than under its full name.
