History[]

Shin Yurigaoka Station opened on June 1, 1974.[2] The greenfield station was developed by Odakyu Railway in 1974 as a purpose built station to hold trains for expresses to overtake local trains, and as a temporary holding spot for large numbers of passengers as the closer stations and rails towards central Tokyo were a chokepoint and had land acquisition issues and protracted legal filings with residents for decades, particularly in Setagaya ward.[3][1] There was no room for six parallel platforms closer to Tokyo. Due to these lawsuits, the congested Odakyū Odawara Line was even unable to acquire land by year 2000 for quad tracking on the Odawara line north of the station (in/out of Tokyo), finally resorting to phased expensive fixes to lack of land such as stacking rails vertically using tunnels and grade separation, finally finished in March 2018.[1] Along with the station, an attached masterplanned community was coordinated by Odakyu to support the railway. The station had been planned to connect to the Yokohama subway and proposed Kawasaki Municipal Subway lines, but those plans have been shelved or postponed, leaving the station as merely an Odakyu junction.[4][unreliable source?]
