Tokorozawa

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

Tokorozawa Station opened on 21 March 1895 as a Kawagoe Railway station, predecessor of the Seibu Shinjuku Line, and gained a second route in 1915 with the opening of the Musashino Railway, today's Seibu Ikebukuro Line. The two routes meet at this junction, which doubles as Seibu's main hub in Saitama Prefecture. From 1958 onward both lines were progressively double-tracked through Tokorozawa, and in 1963 the Ikebukuro Line ran the first 10-car train in Japanese private-railway service, between Ikebukuro and Tokorozawa. A multi-phase rebuild of the station and concourse began in 2010 and the new overtrack station building opened on 8 March 2012, with phase II completing on 2 September 2020.

Since 3 November 2020 the platforms have used departure melodies arranged from music for "My Neighbor Totoro": the Tokorozawa area is the setting of the film, and monuments of its characters stand in the east-exit rotary.
