Izumi-Tamagawa Station, railway station in Komae, Tokyo, Japan
Izumi-Tamagawa Station is an elevated railway stop in Komae with tracks running above street level, featuring two platforms on opposite sides that serve local trains throughout the day. The station building beneath the tracks houses ticket machines, small shops, and clear signage to guide passengers moving between the platforms and nearby streets.
The station opened on April 1, 1927, and was built to connect local residents with nearby towns and central Tokyo. Over the decades it has been modernized with clearer signage and safety improvements while maintaining its role as a steady link in the rail network serving the community.
The station's name comes from the nearby Tamagawa River and the Izumi area. Residents and workers use it daily, creating a steady rhythm of commuting that reflects the quiet suburban character of Komae and connects families to their workplaces and schools.
The station features ramps and signage in both Japanese and English, making it easy to find your way through. Bicycle parking is available and nearby bus stops offer connections to other areas if you need to continue your journey beyond the train network.
The station was assigned the code OH17 in 2014, a numbering system that helps visitors who cannot read Japanese easily identify and navigate along the Odakyu Line. This simple code appears on all signage and maps today, making it easier for anyone traveling through.
