• Tōbu Tōjō Main Line: Shinrin-koen (Saitama) ⇄ Sakado (Saitama)

Higashi-Matsuyama Station opened on 1 October 1923 as Bushu Matsuyama Station when the Tobu Tojo Line was extended from Sakado-machi. The "Bushu" prefix avoided confusion with Iyo Railway's Matsuyama Station in Ehime. The stop was renamed Higashi-Matsuyama Station on 1 October 1954, the day the surrounding town became a city. Double-tracking through to Higashi-Matsuyama in 1968 prompted a track rearrangement and footbridge, and the current overhead concourse was finished in 1973. In October 1977 a further extension of the double-tracking shifted all terminating services to Shinrin-koen, after which the unneeded outer tracks were removed and the station became a relative-platform stop. Station numbering TJ-29 came on 17 March 2012.

From 2008 to 2010 the station building was refurbished with new lifts and a multi-purpose toilet, and its eastern facade was rebricked to echo the city's sister-city ties with Nijmegen in the Netherlands.
