Location

History

Toride Station opened on 25 December 1896 as a stop on the Nippon Railway, which was nationalised on 1 November 1906 and absorbed into the Jōban Line under the 1909 line-name reform. A separate Jōsō Railway line, the predecessor of today's Kantō Railway Jōsō Line, reached the station in November 1913. Quadruple-tracking from Abiko to Toride opened on 15 November 1982, making the station the terminus of the line's commuter pair. The station passed to JR East at the 1987 privatisation, the Box Hill Toride station building opened in October 1988, and automatic ticket gates were installed in 1993. Smart platform-edge doors entered service on the Jōban local-line platforms on 9 January 2024.

Notes

The station marks the boundary between direct-current and alternating-current electrification on the Jōban Line, a split adopted to avoid disturbing the Kakioka Geomagnetic Observatory.
