Kashiwadai Station - Ebina

Sotetsu Line. One step before Ebina station. A small station. I don't feel like I saw a fixed-route bus or taxi. The city is full of slopes, so few bicycle users can see it. There is FamilyMart. There is a 7-Eleven just outside the station.

It is said that the distance from the ticket gate to the platform is the longest in Japan. Without the east exit, it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the station, but it takes less than 5 minutes to reach the platform. The east exit is a residential area, so convenience stores and supermarkets are about 5 minutes from the station. Even if it rains suddenly, the umbrellas are placed on a first-come, first-served basis. The toilets are also clean for men and women. Lockers, pudos, mailboxes, payphones and drink vending machines are installed. There are stairs leading from the platform to the east exit, but there is no elevator. Why is there a gravel garden style. Convenience stores, ATMs, pharmacies, hospitals, supermarkets, 100-yen shops, Shimamura, etc. prosper at the south exit. Please note that it costs about 120 yen to move only the ticket gate (South Exit ↔️ East Exit).

Sotetsu Line Kashiwadai Station. A building with a different station building. It has also become a location for TV dramas. I have used a taxi, but it is impressive that he was a polite and polite driver.

There is a convenience store (closed at midnight because it is a family mart with a station) on the right side of the ticket gate. If you walk a little to the left at the station, you will find Seven-Eleven. There is also an ID photo machine in the nearby vending machine zone. Further down the 7-Eleven, there are supermarkets Rosen and Daiso.

This station also has a garage, but the most surprising thing is the exit from the east exit. It's a very distant place. The reason is when the station moves to this place This is because the old station building (Otsukahommachi Station) can also be used as the east exit. It's so far away that there are emergency call buttons, rest areas, and benches along the way. there is!

It is a station on the Sotetsu Main Line, located in Kashiwagaya, Ebina City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is on the border with Zama City and Ayase City, which are adjacent to each other. The distance between this station and the terminal station, Ebina Station, is 2.8km, which is the longest distance on the Sotetsu Main Line. * The shortest distance between stations is 600m between Nishi-Yokohama and Tennomachi stations. The origin of the station name is derived from the location "Kashiwagaya", which means a valley with many Kashiwa trees, or from the meaning of a rocky valley, the theory that "hard rock" was changed to "kashiwa". There is. The name "Kashiwaya" can already be seen during the Warring States period. In the Edo period, Kashiwagaya Village, Koza District was also established. It is an above-ground station on two sides and four lines of an island platform, and this type is the same as Futamatagawa Station (Izumino Line junction station). Train types other than limited express will stop. Basically, Line 1 (toward Ebina) and Line 3 (toward Yokohama) are used, but there is an operation near this station due to the entry and exit of the Kashiwadai Rolling Stock Center, which is a vehicle base, in the early morning hours. There are several trains bound for Yokohama that stop at each station that departs from this station. The deadhead train uses it at other times. The platform door was installed and started operation in December 2021 (Reiwa 3). Around this station, there is the Ebina City Fire Department North Branch and the Northern Park (with gymnasium and indoor pool) where there are sports facilities. There are also many buses bound for Ebina Station.

There are two ticket gates, the west exit and the east exit. The west exit is the Hashigami station building The east exit is at the former Otsukahommachi station From the platform to the station building It is a long passage of about 350m The passage is the site of the platform of Otsukahommachi Station Inside the station, the Sagami Railway depot And a vehicle inspection facility There is Kashiwadai Rolling Stock Center For that reason, the last train from Yokohama is It's stopped at this station
