Kikuna is a crossing station where two lines cross on different levels. These are the Tōyoko line of the Tōkyū Dentetsu from Shibuya to Yokohama and the Yokohama line of the JR East from Hachiōji to Higashi-Kanagawa . In terms of traffic, the Tōyoko Line is the more important. All express and local trains stop here (with the exception of the S-Train ), with 13 to 18 trains every hour during the day and up to 23 trains during rush hour. They are three places to metro lines by bound : in Shinjuku for Fukutoshin line in Naka-Meguro for Hibiya Line and Yokohama to Minatomirai line .
On the Yokohama Line, there are three express trains every hour on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and on weekends between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. , which run from Hachiōji to Higashi-Kanagawa and then via Yokohama to Sakuragichō . The offer is supplemented by local trains between Hachiōji and Higashi-Kanagawa and between Hashimoto and Sakuragichō (three times an hour each), which results in six connections per hour. During the rest of the day, there are no express trains and are replaced by local trains (five per hour in the evening, up to 15 during rush hour ), with the majority being tied through to Sakuragichō (in individual cases to Ōfuna ).
There is a bus stop on the street in front of the eastern entrance, which is served by a line operated by the Kawasaki Tsurumi Rinko Bus company. About 200 meters away, two other bus routes from the Yokohama City Transportation Office stop at 2 Prefecture Road .

history
The private railway company Tōkyō Yokohama Dentetsu (a predecessor of Tōkyū Dentetsu ) opened on February 14, 1926 the first section of the Tōyoko line between Tamagawa and Kanagawa, which also included the Kikuna station. Since this line crossed the Yokohama Line , which had existed since 1908 , the Ministry of Railways set up its own section of the station on September 1, 1926. In March 1927, a connecting track was added between the two lines, which was in operation until September 1966. On April 1, 1970, the Japanese State Railways stopped handling goods.
The Tōyoko Line was repeatedly hit by floods. To solve this problem, the routes of both lines were raised and the Tōyoko line expanded to four tracks. Likewise, the Tōkyū Dentetsu built a new station building and the state railroad a central platform. The expansion, which was completed on July 27, 1972, also included a pull-out track for emergencies on the Tōyoko Line. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station section on the Yokohama line became the property of the new company JR East . August 9, 1988 to March 15, 2013, the exploited Tokyo subway belonging Hibiya Line to Kikuna station as the southern terminus for by bound trains. In 1991 the Tōkyū Dentetsu extended their platforms to a length of eight cars, for which a level crossing had to be replaced by a road tunnel directly at the southern end.
