Wakaba

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

Wakaba Station opened on 2 April 1979, built in connection with the Japan Housing Corporation's "Musashi Ryokuen Toshi" new town (Fujimi district), and took its name from the nearby Wakabadai housing estate; it stands on the border between the cities of Sakado and Tsurugashima. The original east exit was supplemented by a west exit and forecourt on 14 March 2004. Following the 16 March 2013 timetable revision, Wakaba became a Rapid-service stop, and on 18 March 2023 it was upgraded to a Rapid Express stop after the Rapid category was abolished; the same revision opened through-running via the Tōkyū Shin-Yokohama Line and the Sōtetsu lines. Station numbering was added on 17 March 2012, designating Wakaba as TJ 25.

Wakaba was originally going to be named "Wakabadai", after the housing estate it was built to serve, but the planners dropped the suffix when they realised Keiō already had a Wakabadai station on its Sagamihara Line.
