Yamato is an intersection station where two lines cross on different levels. The Odakyū Enoshima line of the Odakyū Dentetsu railway company meets the Sōtetsu main line of the Sagami Tetsudō . In terms of traffic volume, both have roughly the same meaning. Romance car express trains, which are subject to a surcharge, stop on the Enoshima line and connect Shinjuku in central Tokyo with Fujisawa or Katase-Enoshima (seven pairs of trains on weekdays, ten on weekends and public holidays). All express trains of the types Express and Rapid Express , which run from Shinjuku and together form a roughly 20-minute cycle, also stop here . Fujisawa is the terminus on weekdays, while almost all express trains continue to Katase-Enoshima on weekends and public holidays. Local trains run every ten minutes and are mostly limited to the connection between Sagami-Ōno and Katase-Enoshima (the northern terminus of individual trains is Machida ).
All trains on the Sōtetsu main line stop in Yamato. During the day 10 to 12 trains run every hour, during rush hour 16 to 17. In addition to local trains, there are four different express trains ( Commuter Express , Express , Limited Express , Rapid ) that serve a different number of intermediate stations on the way between Yokohama and Ebina . There are also two or three limited express trains per hour on the Sōtetsu Shin-Yokohama line and the Hinkaku line to Shinjuku. To the west of Odakyū Station, on both sides of the traffic-free Yamato Promenade , there are several bus stops. They are served by a total of a dozen lines of the companies Sōtetsu Bus and Kanagawa Chūō Kōtsū and the city bus company Yamato.

The tower station is on the border of the districts of Chūō in the west, Yamatohigashi in the northeast and Yamatominami in the southeast. The Odakyū Enoshima Line runs above ground on a viaduct . The north-south facing Odakyū station section comprises four tracks on two completely covered central platforms . The reception building is located under the viaduct and contains several shops. It also serves as a distribution level and divides the Yamato Promenade in two halves. This pedestrian zone was created at the beginning of the 1990s in place of the earlier above-ground route of the Sōtetsu main line. Today their tracks run underground. The tunnel station , which is oriented from east to west, has two tracks on a central platform.
In the 2018 fiscal year, an average of 233,346 passengers used the station every day. Of these, 118,367 were accounted for by the Odakyū Dentetsu and 114,879 by the Sagami Tetsudō.

history
The Jinchū Tetsudō , a predecessor of the Sagami Tetsudō railway company , opened on May 12, 1926 the first section of today's Sōtetsu main line between Futamatagawa and Atsugi . This also included the Yamato train station, which at that time was about 200 meters east of the current location. The Odawara Kyūkō Tetsudō (today Odakyū Dentetsu ) opened on April 1, 1929 the Odakyū Enoshima line ; their station was initially called Nishi-Yamato ( 西 大 和 ). On June 1, 1944, the Sagami Tetsudō moved its station closer to that of the Odakyū Dentetsu to create better connections; this in turn was given the name Yamato on the same day.
The station on the Sōtetsu main line was completely destroyed by arson on June 22, 1958 and then replaced by a new building. The Odakyū Dentetsu completely renewed its station and took the new station building on December 24, 1971 into operation. Due to the chronic congestion of the streets around the station, caused by numerous level crossings , the decision was made in 1986 to move the Sōtetsu main line underground in the center of Yamato. During the seven-year construction work, the trains stopped at a temporary station at the old location. The tunnel station was opened on August 1, 1993. Meanwhile, the Odakyū Dentetsu expanded its station section from two to four tracks; the corresponding work was completed on November 1, 1994.
