Station history

Atsugi Station was opened on 12 May 1926, as the terminus of Jinchū Railroad (神中鉄道), now Sagami Railway). Despite being located in neighboring Ebina, the station was named “Atsugi” to fulfill a pledge by the railway management to build a railroad “to Atsugi”. The Sotetsu Railway (currently the JR Sagami Line) linked to the station on 15 July 1926. On 1 April 1927, the Odakyu Electric Railway built the adjacent Kawaharaguchi Station (河原口駅). With the completion of Ebina Station on the Jinchū Railroad on 25 November 1941, operations to Atsugi were discontinued. Atsugi Station of newly nationalized Sagami Line and Kawaharaguchi Station were joined into the same station building on 1 June 1944. A new station building was opened on 31 July 1971. [citation needed]

Station numbering was introduced in January 2014 with Atsugi being assigned station number OH33.[1][2]
