Location

History

Tonosawa Station opened on 21 October 1920 on the Hakone Tozan Line, 7.1 km from Odawara. The station, sandwiched between two tunnels, has two opposed side platforms accommodating three-car trains; the original level crossing at the Odawara end was rebuilt as an overhead staircase during platform extensions, and the Odawara-side turnout was relocated inside the tunnel. The station is permanently unstaffed and tickets must be purchased from the conductor on board; only a simple PASMO IC gate is provided. On 1 April 2024 operations passed to Odakyu Hakone as part of the wider Odakyu Group restructuring of Hakone services.

Notes

A small Zeniarai Benten shrine near the inbound platform was donated by Matsui Fusakichi, a Taishō-era market speculator and the founder of Matsui Securities; the shrine's annual festival falls on 10 May, the birthday of his eldest son Takeshi, the firm's second president.
