Location

History

Hiranumabashi Station opened on 25 October 1931, built on land borrowed from the Ministry of Railways' siding south of the former Hiranuma Station site. It served as the Jinchū Railway's terminus until the line was extended to Yokohama on 27 December 1933. The track between Nishi-Yokohama and Hiranumabashi was originally a siding of the Tōkaidō Main Line, leased to the Jinchū Railway. On 18 January 1957 the Sōtetsu line received the JNR freight branch as a transfer and was double-tracked; an overhead-line stanchion crossing JR and the down Sōtetsu track on the platform survives as a remnant of that period. The current overhead station building was completed on 26 December 1970. As the first station in the Sōtetsu Design Brand-Up Project, the station was renovated and reopened on 16 January 2017. Platform doors entered service on 24 March 2024.

Notes

Among Sōtetsu's 27 stations, Hiranumabashi has the second-lowest daily passenger count — only Yumegaoka is quieter. The station lies just 0.9 km from Yokohama Station.
