The station opened on March 30, 2008, when the Green Line of Yokohama's subway network began operations. Since then, it has served as an important transportation link for residents and improved connectivity between the Tsuzuki ward and other parts of the city.
The station name 'Fureai no Oka' means 'Contact Hill,' reflecting the hilly terrain and parks nearby that serve as gathering places for the community. It functions as a meeting point where local residents connect during their daily routines.
The station is easily accessible with elevators and stairs connecting street level to the underground platforms, accommodating different mobility needs. Being underground, it remains comfortable year-round, protecting travelers from extreme weather conditions.
