Hakone-Yumoto is a through station on the Hakone-Tozan Line from Odawara to Gōra . It is operated jointly by the railway companies Odakyū Dentetsu and Hakone Tozan Tetsudō , both of which belong to the Odakyu Group . Due to different gauges, however, there is no through traffic, which is why Hakone-Yumoto has the function of a lane changing station and is the terminus for both companies. Hakone Tozan Tetsudō trains run on the standard-gauge mountain line to Gōra. On the flatter, Cape-gauge part of the route, however, only Odakyū Dentetsu trains - regional trains to Odawara and Romancecar - express trains continue on the Odakyū Odawara line in the direction of Tokyo .
There are five bus stops in front of the train station. They are served by lines of the companies Hakone Tozan Bus and Izuhakone Bus , which lead to various locations in the area - including different parts of Hakone, Odawara, Gotemba , Ōwakudani and Lake Ashi , but also to Tokyo Haneda Airport .

The station is located on the edge of the Yumoto district in the narrow Hayakawa Valley, wedged between the southern slope of Mount Tonomine and National Road 1 , the course of which in this area corresponds to that of the historic Tōkaidō Street. It has several shops and service facilities and there are numerous other souvenir shops, restaurants and hotels in the vicinity. Due to its slightly curved shape, the station complex is oriented from east to south-west. It has four tracks, all of which are covered. A covered overpass, connected to stairs and escalators, leads to the other side of the street and to a pedestrian bridge over the Hayakawa.
The tracks lie on a side platform and a wide central platform . The Cape-gauge track 1 on the south side of the central platform is reserved for the Odakyū express trains to Tokyo, while the standard-gauge track 4 on the short side platform is usually only used to get off the mountain railway from Gōra. Both combine to form a three-rail track east of the station . On the north side of the central platform are standard-gauge track 3 to the west and Cape-gauge track 2 to the east, which are not interconnected. From here, the Hakone Tozan Tetsudō and Odakyū regional trains run.
In 2016, an average of 11,263 passengers used the station every day. It is also a station of the Hakone Ekiden , one of the most popular relay races in Japan, which runs from Tokyo to Hakone.

history
The municipality of Yumoto, which was independent until 1954, had been on Tōkaidō , Japan's most important post and trade route , since the early Edo period , and was already known for its numerous onsen at that time . Since the Tōkaidō main line built in the 1870s and 1880s circumnavigated the Hakone volcanic massif to the north, there was a risk of loss of importance. Influential people from the neighboring town of Odawara therefore founded the Odawara Basha Tetsudō ( 小田原 馬車 鉄 道 ). They built the Odawara tram within six months , initially in the form of a horse-drawn tram . From October 1, 1888, it connected the Kōzu station with Odawara and Yumoto. The tram company named itself in 1896 in Odawara Denki Tetsudō ( 小田原 電 気 鉄 道 ) and, according to the new name, introduced electrical operation on March 21, 1900.

In 1907 the planning of a mountain railway through the Hayakawa Valley to Gōra began to promote tourism. Construction began in 1912 and dragged on for almost seven years. Finally, on June 1, 1919, the Hakone-Tozan line was opened to Gōra . The mountain railway station was located next to the tram terminus and was named Hakone-Yumoto. The Hakone Tozan Tetsudō , as the railway company has called itself since 1928, opened on October 1, 1935 the extension of the Hakone-Tozan line from Hakone-Yumoto to Odawara station . On the same day, she shut down the parallel section of the tram.
In 1948 the Hakone Tozan Tetsudō was taken over by the Odakyū Dentetsu . In order to be able to run direct trains to Tokyo-Shinjuku , the new owner laid a three -rail track between Hakone-Yumoto and Odawara, which was put into operation on August 1, 1950. 1964 was depot of the cable car in Hakone Yumoto moved to the vicinity of the adjacent station Iriuda. In 1970 the previous station building in Hakone-Yumoto was replaced by a new building, four years later the redesign of the forecourt was completed.
The superordinate Odakyu Group decided in 1995 to limit the trains of the Hakone Tozan Tetsudō on days with particularly high passenger traffic to the mountain route and to leave the valley route to the trains of the Odakyū Dentetsu in view of the increasing congestion of the line. This measure has proven itself and has been in effect since the timetable change on March 18, 2006, making Hakone-Yumoto a lane-changing station since then . With the exception of the two-kilometer section to the Iriuda depot, the three-rail track was removed. Another renovation of the Hakone-Yumoto station was completed in March 2009.
