Totsuka Station

The Totsuka Station (Japanese: 戸塚駅, Japanese pronunciation: [Totsuka-eki]) is an interchange passenger railway station located in Totsuka-ku, Yokohama, Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and the Yokohama City Transportation Bureau.

The platforms are connected to the station's two gates upstairs (over the tracks) and downstairs (underground).

In 1923, a separate freight yard was completed as a part of the station to the north of the passenger platforms across the crossing with Tōkaidō Highway.

[1] As the addition of the new freight lines claimed the land of the bus terminal in front of the station's west gate, the bus terminal was relocated to the site of the former freight yard in July 1971.

With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the operational control of JR East.

The timetable was revised on March 18, 2007, so that Tokaido Line Acty rapid trains all stopped at this station.

The Blue Line of the Yokohama Subway connected to Totsuka Station on 24 May 1987 with temporary facilities.

[8] At 09:52 on July 27, 1939, about 500 workers of a nearby Nippon Kōgaku factory entered the track near the station to see off a colleague.
