History

Koma Station opened on 10 September 1929 on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line in what is now Hidaka, Saitama Prefecture, operated by Seibu Railway. A station improvement project was completed on 31 August 1977. Freight services were withdrawn on 1 April 1996. Accessibility upgrades were finished on 31 August 2006, and reserved-seat ticket sales at the window began on 1 October 2006. In fiscal 2012, station-numbering was rolled out across Seibu's network and Koma was assigned SI28. The station is built on an embankment with a single island platform serving two tracks plus a pass-through line; on 1 April 2024 it became a remotely operated stop, with on-site ticket sales withdrawn.

Notes

Limited-express "Chichibu" trains make seasonal stops here during the September–October red spider-lily bloom at the adjacent Kinchakuda meadow, with a temporary IC-card gate opened to handle the crowds.
