Location
History
Yatsuka Station opened on 1 October 1925 on the Tobu Railway in what is today the city of Sōka, Saitama. The single elevated island platform sits on the Tōbu Skytree Line (Isesaki Line), 15.9 kilometres from the Asakusa terminus, and bypass tracks alongside allow express services to pass through without stopping. Station numbering arrived across the Tōbu network on 17 March 2012, when Yatsuka was assigned TS-15. Although only local trains call here, the station is among the busiest local-only stops on the line. The station was rebuilt as an elevated structure during the line's grade-separation works of the late 1980s.
Notes
Yatsuka sits at an elevation of just 3.45 metres above sea level, making it the lowest railway station in Saitama Prefecture.
