Kurihashi Station, Railway interchange station in Kuki, Japan
Kurihashi Station is a railway interchange in Kuki featuring three platforms operated by two separate companies. East Japan Railway Company manages one island platform while Tobu Railway operates two additional platforms.
The station opened in 1885 as part of Japan's expanding railway network in Saitama Prefecture. Tobu Railway began operating services here in 1929, establishing a shared operation at the location.
The station incorporates traditional Japanese railway design elements, including the Midori no Madoguchi ticket office system used throughout the national rail network.
The station serves the Tohoku Main Line and Tobu Nikko Line with connections leading toward Tokyo. Service operates throughout the day to accommodate travelers using either railway system.
A specialized connecting track allows trains to move between the Tobu and JR railway systems for maintenance and operational purposes. This infrastructure enables the two operators to coordinate technical movements without passengers.
