Hazawa Yokohama-Kokudai Station, Underground railway station in Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama, Japan.
Hazawa Yokohama-Kokudai Station is an underground railway facility in Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama, featuring two side platforms for trains on the Sotetsu Shin-Yokohama Line and the Tokaidō Freight Line. The platforms lie below ground level and provide direct interchange connections between different railway operators.
The facility opened for service on November 30, 2019, creating a new transit hub in Kanagawa Prefecture. In March 2023, completion of the Sotetsu Shin-Yokohama Line extension enabled connections toward Musashi-Kosugi and Shin-Yokohama.
The facility links the residential district with the nearby university campus and serves primarily commuters and students as a transfer point. Signage on platform walls appears in multiple languages, reflecting the international character of the area.
Travelers should follow platform signage carefully to locate the correct exit for transfer connections. The platforms sit deep underground, so allow extra time for walking routes to other lines.
The platforms are positioned so deep that passengers must ride several escalators to reach surface level. Despite its compact size, the facility enables direct connections between private and national railway companies without routing through larger hubs.
