Kōzu is a separation station on the Tōkaidō Main Line , one of the most important railway lines in Japan. From this the Gotemba Line branches off, which was part of the Tōkaidō main line until 1934 and has been an alternative route since then. The company JR East carries out the passenger traffic on the section Tokyo-Atami of the Tōkaidō main line. Trains run from JR Central on the Gotemba Line .
There is a lot of traffic on the Tōkaidō main line with a variety of regional , express and express trains ; During rush hour, up to 13 trains stop here every hour in each direction. Particularly noteworthy are the Rapid Acty ( 快速 ア ク テak ー , Kaisoku akutī ) from Tokyo to Atami , the Commuter Rapid ( 通勤 快速 , Tsūkin Kaisoku ) from Tokyo to Odawara and the Shōnan Liner ( 湘南 ラ イ ナ ー , Shōnan Rainā ). In addition, individual trains on the Shōnan-Shinjuku line operate via the nominal terminus Ōfuna to Odawara. On the Gotemba line, regional trains run at irregular intervals (approx. Every 30 to 60 minutes) via Gotemba to Numazu , with stops at all stations. The offer is supplemented during rush hour by repeater trains to Gotemba.
The southern station forecourt is an important hub for local and regional bus traffic. It is served by over 20 lines operated by the companies Kanagawa Chūō Kōtsū , Hakone Tozan Bus and Fujikyū Shōnan Bus .

The station is located on the eastern edge of the city near the bank of Sagami Bay , in a narrow coastal strip parallel to National Road 1 . It is oriented from east to west and has nine tracks, five of which are used for passenger traffic. They are located on the house platform and on two covered central platforms . The latter can be reached via an underpass at the western end and a covered overpass in the middle of the complex; at the eastern end there is a narrow road tunnel. The reception building on the south side is a four-story concrete block and mostly contains offices.
Two through tracks belong to the Tōkaidō freight line operated by JR Freight . West of the station enables a flying junction , the level of free junction of Gotemba line with the Tōkaidō main line and the line Tôkaidô goods. JR East's Kōzu depot is located about three kilometers to the northwest . It can be reached from the train station via an access track that runs parallel to the JR Central track, but is not connected to it.
In the 2017 fiscal year, an average of 5,998 passengers used the station every day (only JR East, excluding passengers on the Gotemba Line from JR Central).

history
On July 11, 1887, the state railway opened a section of the Tōkaidō main line , which led from Yokohama to Kōzu. For around a year and a half, Kōzu was the terminus and was served by three trains a day. With the opening of the section via Gotemba and Numazu to Shizuoka on February 1, 1889, the volume of traffic increased significantly. Five months later, on July 1, 1889, the entire Tōkaidō main line between Tokyo and Kobe was continuously passable. The steeply steep route via Gotemba increasingly turned out to be a bottleneck, which is why the Ministry of Railways started building a new line via Atami a quarter of a century later . Your first section between Kōzu and Odawara went into operation on October 21, 1920. The section Yokohama – Kōzu was electrified on December 13, 1925, the section Kōzu – Odawara on February 1, 1926.
With the opening of the new line and the Tanna Tunnel on December 1, 1934, which was several years late , the flow of traffic changed fundamentally. Long-distance traffic no longer ran via the old mountain route via Gotemba, which was given the new name Gotemba-Linie , but via Atami. From 1955 diesel multiple units drove on the Gotemba line, on April 27, 1968 electrification also took place there. The Japanese State Railways stopped handling goods at Kōzu station on May 20, 1970 and relocated it to the newly built freight station two kilometers further west. Also in 1970 the reception building was replaced by a new building and on May 14, 1985 baggage check-in was discontinued. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the possession of the new company JR East on April 1, 1987 .
From October 1, 1888 to December 1, 1920, the station was the northern terminus of the Odawara tram .
