Tobu-Takezawa

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

Tōbu-Takezawa Station opened on 23 July 1932 as simply "Takezawa Station" on the Tōbu Tōjō Line, 67.1 km from the line's Tokyo terminus at Ikebukuro. It was renamed Tōbu-Takezawa on 1 July 1934 to distinguish it from the Takezawa Station that the Japanese National Railways Hachikō Line opened about 500 m away in October 1934. Station numbering was rolled out on the Tōjō Line on 17 March 2012, giving the station the identifier TJ-34. The stop sits in the town of Ogawa, Saitama, and is served during the day by two local trains an hour in each direction between Ogawamachi and Yorii; there is no through service to Ikebukuro. In fiscal 2019 daily ridership averaged 877 passengers.

Tōbu actually got there first — its station opened in July 1932 as plain Takezawa, and was forced to add the "Tōbu-" prefix two years later when JNR's Hachikō Line built its own Takezawa Station 500 m down the road.
