Yomiuri-Land-mae Station, Railway station in Tama-ku, Kawasaki, Japan
Yomiuri-Land-mae Station is a railway station on the Odakyu Odawara Line with two parallel platforms connecting passengers between Shinjuku and Odawara. The facility provides direct access to a gondola system that transports visitors to nearby attractions in the area.
The station opened in 1927 as Nishi-Ikuta Station and was renamed in 1964 to reflect its proximity to the entertainment complex. This change marked a shift toward a clearer identity tied to the area's leisure developments.
The station serves as the gateway to Yomiuriland amusement park and connects visitors to the Yomiuri Giants baseball team's training facility.
The station is clearly signposted and the direct connection to the gondola makes navigation easy for visitors heading to nearby attractions. The two platforms are straightforward, so boarding the correct train is simple.
The station features platform number OH21, introduced in 2014 as part of a systematic numbering system designed to help international travelers. This system makes it easier for visitors unfamiliar with Japanese stations to find their way quickly.
