Katase-Enoshima is a terminus at the southern end of the 27.6 km long Odakyū Enoshima Line , which branches off in Sagami-Ōno from the Odakyū Odawara Line . Both lines are operated by the Odakyū Dentetsu railway company. Romance car express trains, subject to a surcharge, run to Shinjuku in central Tokyo , with three pairs of trains being offered on weekdays and six pairs of trains on weekends and public holidays. Express trains of the types Express and Rapid Express run to Shinjuku only on weekends and public holidays , which together form an approximate 20-minute cycle. Local trains run every ten minutes and are mostly limited to the connection between Katase-Enoshima and Sagami-Ōno (the northern terminus of individual trains is Machida ).

Bus stops are a short distance away at the Katase Road Bridge and the Enoshima Aquarium; the bus routes stopping there are operated by Enoden Bus . About half a kilometer away in a north-easterly direction is the Enoshima train station on the Enoshima-Dentetsu line , where there is also a connection to the Shōnan Monorail .

The station is in the Katasekaigan district, about 250 meters north of the confluence of the Sakai and Sagami Bay (the section of the river's mouth is sometimes called Katase). The Enoshima peninsula , a much-visited tourist destination in the Shonan holiday region , is around 600 meters away and can be reached via a pedestrian bridge. The train station is oriented from northwest to southeast and has three butt- ended tracks. These are located on two partially covered central platforms . On the middle track you get on and off separately ( Spanish solution ). The entrance building built on the cross platform in the traditional ryugu-zukuri wooden style is intended to be reminiscent of the dragon palace Ryūgū-jō in the Japanese fairy tale Urashima Tarō ; its real model is the nearby Enoshima shrine .

In the 2018 fiscal year, an average of 21,217 passengers used the station every day.

history

Reception building before the renovation (2009)

The railway company Odawara Kyūkō Tetsudō (today's Odakyū Dentetsu ) received the concession for the construction of the Odakyū Enoshima line in October 1926 . It should branch off from the Odakyū Odawara line, which was already under construction, and lead via Fujisawa to the vicinity of Enoshima in order to better exploit the tourist potential of this peninsula on Sagami Bay . After a year of construction, the entire Enoshima line and the Katase-Enoshima terminus were opened on April 1, 1929.

After almost seven decades of use, a comprehensive modernization of the reception building was necessary. The Odakyū Dentetsu endeavored to preserve the original wooden architecture as possible during the renovation work. After work began in February 2018, the building was dismantled and then rebuilt. The restart took place on February 28, 2020; The work was completed in May 2020.
