History

Higashi-Totsuka Station opened on 1 October 1980 as a Japanese National Railways station, after more than half a century of local petitions for a Yokosuka Line stop. A 'Musashi Station' had been approved in 1923 at roughly the present site but was cancelled after the Great Kantō earthquake, and post-war signature campaigns surpassed 105,000 names in 1972. The opening coincided with the SM-bunri programme separating Tōkaidō and Yokosuka Line tracks between Yokohama and Ōfuna. The east-side Aurora City complex with Seibu and Daiei opened on 7 October 1999, and the west-side Morera Higashi-Totsuka, anchored by Tōkyū Store, opened in 2009. The station passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987.

Notes

Higashi-Totsuka is the busiest single-line Yokosuka Line station between Tokyo and Kurihama, carrying more daily passengers than the historically significant transfer station at Kamakura.
