History

Sōunzan Station opened on 1 December 1921 as the first-generation Kami-Gōra Station on the Hakone Tozan Cable Car. It was renamed Sōunzan on 10 July 1926. As part of wartime materiel rationing the cable car was suspended as a non-essential line on 11 February 1944 and resumed on 1 July 1950. The Hakone Ropeway opened on 6 December 1959, making the station an interchange between the two modes. The station building was rebuilt as a two-storey reinforced-concrete structure on 27 October 1961. A station renovation completed on 9 July 2020 introduced the new "cu-mo Hakone" facility, with rising platform-edge gates entering service on the cable-car platform. On 1 April 2022 the Hakone Ropeway was absorbed into the Hakone Tozan Railway, so that both lines became part of the company now known as Odakyu Hakone.

Notes

It is the westernmost railway station in Kanagawa Prefecture; the elevation of this station on the Hakone Tozan Cable Car was formerly given as 761 meters, but was corrected to 750 meters following a resurvey in 2013.
