Toritsu-Kasei

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

Toritsu-Kasei Station opened on 25 December 1937 on what is now the Seibu Shinjuku Line, originally as Furitsu-Kasei Station in Nakano Ward, Tokyo. The stop was built after parents and the principal of the nearby prefectural girls' higher domestic-science school (now Tokyo Metropolitan Saginomiya High School) petitioned Seibu Railway for a new station, and it was renamed Toritsu-Kasei on 1 July 1943. A new station building was inaugurated on 28 July 1983, and a yard improvement in spring 1984 replaced the in-station level crossing with a connecting underground passage. Automatic ticket gates entered service at the south entrance on 21 February 1992. The station was numbered SS08 in fiscal 2012.

Toritsu-Kasei sits just 500 m from Saginomiya, the shortest interstation spacing on the entire Seibu Shinjuku Line — the platforms are only 300 m apart and passengers can see one station from the other.
