Ippommatsu Station (Saitama)

[3] The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks forming a passing loop on the single-track Ogose Line.

This intersection was named during the Edo Period for a single (ippon) pine tree (matsu) which stood nearby.

[2] Platform edge sensors and TV monitors were installed in 2008 ahead of the start of driver-only operation on the Ogose Line from June 2008.

Lying close to the boundary between Sakado and Tsurugashima cities, Ippommatsu Station's only exit opens onto a busy road which crosses the Ogose Line.

In the morning and at evening, pedestrian and vehicular traffic often become congested with commuters and students from nearby schools.
