Kōza-Shibuya Station, railway station in Yamato, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan
Kōza-Shibuya Station is an above-ground railway station in Yamato that is part of the Odakyu Enoshima Line network. The facility has two platforms with safety doors connected by a footbridge and is equipped with elevators and ramps for wheelchair access.
The station opened in 1929 when Japan was expanding its rail networks to smaller towns and rural areas. It has since evolved into a key transport point for the local community and was upgraded with modern features such as elevators.
The station's name combines two neighborhoods: Koza and Shibuya, reflecting its role as a bridge between local communities. It functions as an everyday meeting point for residents and commuters passing through their daily routines.
The station has information signs in Japanese and offers clear orientation with maps to assist travelers. Facilities include accessible restrooms both inside and outside the ticket gates for the convenience of all visitors.
The station was built above the busy Tokaido Shinkansen line, with high-speed trains passing directly underneath without stopping. This unusual position makes it an interesting spot for observing Japan's modern railway infrastructure.
