History

Kodama Station opened on 1 July 1931 on the then-Hachikō Kita Line, taking its name from the surrounding Kodama Town in what is now Honjō, Saitama. Originally a general station handling both passengers and freight, it lost its freight role in 1974 and its parcel service in 1984, then passed to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. Suica was rolled out in February 2002, the station was contracted out in December 2011, and a replacement station building was put into service on 23 December 2015. Since 13 March 2021 the station has been unstaffed.

Notes

A new station building was completed in December 2015; the line is single-tracked, but the station retains its two facing side platforms, which form a passing loop.
