Station history

Atsugi Station was opened on May 12, 1926 as the terminus of Jinchū Railroad, now Sagami Railway). Despite being located in neighboring Ebina, the station was named “Atsugi” to fulfill a pledge by the railway management to build a railroad “to Atsugi”. The Sotetsu Railway linked to the station on July 15, 1926. On April 1, 1927, the Odakyu Electric Railway built the adjacent Kawaharaguchi Station. With the completion of Ebina Station on the Jinchū Railroad on November 25, 1941, operations to Atsugi were discontinued. Atsugi Station of newly nationalized Sagami Line and Kawaharaguchi Station were joined into the same station building on June 1, 1944. A new station building was opened on July 31, 1971.
