Parallel to this runs on the one hand the Shōnan-Shinjuku line from undfuna via Yokohama and Shinjuku to Ōmiya , where it is linked with the Utsunomiya line and the Takasaki line . On the other hand, there is a parallel route with the Yokosuka Line from Tokyo via Yokohama to Kurihama . Underground, these routes are crossed by the Blue Line of the Yokohama Subway .
On the Tōkaidō Main Line, six to nine trains run every hour in the direction of Odawara, and six or seven trains in the direction of Tokyo ( up to 16 trains per hour during the morning rush hour). These are mainly the express trains Rapid Acty ( 快速 ア ク テ ィ ー , Kaisoku akutī ) and Shōnan Liner ( 湘南 ラ イ ナ ー , Shōnan Rainā ). On the Shōnan-Shinjuku line four to seven local and express trains are offered per hour, on the Yokosuka line five to ten.

The facility is oriented from north to south and has six tracks, of which the four to the east are used for passenger traffic. They are located on two covered central platforms , with their southern end bridging the Kashio. The two westernmost tracks belong to the Tōkaidō freight line operated by JR Freight and are reserved for freight traffic.
The station building in the form of a riding station spans across all tracks . All parts of the station are also connected to one another via an underground shopping arcade . From there, the two-storey underground station , which is oriented from east to west, can be reached. The second basement serves as a distribution level , the platform level is on the third basement.

history
Totsuka was once an important stopover on Tōkaidō , Japan's most important post and trade route. On July 11, 1887, the state railway administration opened a station here, together with the section Sakuragichō - Kōzu of the Tōkaidō main line . At first there was only an entrance on the west side; In 1937 another was added on the east side to enable a more direct connection to the nearby horse racing track, which existed from 1932 to 1954. When the Ministry of Railways replaced all trains on the parallel Yokosuka line with electric multiple units on March 15, 1930 , no trains on the Tōkaidō main line stopped at Totsuka station, although both lines ran on the same tracks.
From the mid-1960s, the station was significantly expanded and on March 26, 1969, the Japanese State Railroad put the new riding station into operation. On May 1, 1970, the state railroad stopped handling goods and relocated the goods traffic passing through here on October 1, 1979 to a newly opened section of the Tōkaidō freight line . In the meantime, the bus station was relocated to the site of the former freight yard in 1971. After the expansion of the Yokohama - unafuna section to six tracks, trains on the Tōkaidō main line stopped again in Totsuka from October 1, 1980, after an interruption of six decades.
On March 14, 1985, the state railway stopped checking in luggage for reasons of rationalization. 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 . The Yokohama City Transportation Department connected the station to the Yokohama Subway network on May 24, 1987 . Then Totsuka was the terminus of the Blue Line for twelve years , until the opening of the extension to Shōnandai on August 29, 1999. The bus station was replaced on April 18, 2010 by a new building at its current location.
