history

On May 12, 1926, the Jinchū Tetsudō railway company opened the first section of today's Sōtetsu main line between Futamatagawa and Atsugi. The station has always been in Ebina and not in the town of Atsugi on the opposite bank of the Sagami . This is due to the fact that the railway company wanted to extend the route there, but did not have enough financial means to build a bridge over the river. In addition, there was the fact that Ebina was a small village at the time and was far less known. On July 15, 1926, the Sagami Tetsudō also reached Atsugi by extending today's Sagami line from Kurumi to here. When the Odawara Kyūkō Tetsudō (today's Odakyū Dentetsu ) started operating the entire Odakyū Odawara line between Shinjuku and Odawara on April 1, 1927 , it opened its own train station in the immediate vicinity, which it named Kawaraguchi ( 河 原 口 ). Finally, on April 29, 1931, the Sagami Line was extended from Atsugi to Hashimoto .

Trains of the Jinchū Tetsudō ran the Odakyū tracks to Hon-Atsugi , but no longer stopped in Atsugi from November 25, 1941. On April 1, 1943, the railway company went on in the Sagami Tetsudō. This in turn had to cede the Sagami line to the Ministry of Railways on June 1, 1944, due to an order from the government , so that the war-essential freight traffic could be rationalized. On the same day, the Odakyū Dentetsu renamed their part of the station in Atsugi. The shared use of the Odawara line by the Sagami Tetsudō ended on November 5, 1964 due to increasing capacity bottlenecks and the western terminus was moved to Ebina . From 1964 to 1986 consisted of the parking area from a siding at a cement plant of the Group Onoda Cement (now Taiheyo Cement ); Sagami Tetsudō was responsible for handling freight traffic until 1979, then the Japanese State Railways .

The replacement of the Odakyū Bridge over the Sagami also involved a reconfiguration of the tracks in Atsugi station and the construction of the new reception building; this work was completed on July 13, 1971. For reasons of profitability, the state railway stopped handling goods on November 1, 1986. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the Sagami line went into the possession of the new company JR East on April 1, 1987 . The renovation work in the years 2007 to 2009 included moving the platform of the Sagami line and installing elevators.
