History

Shin-Koshigaya Station opened on 23 July 1974 to give Tobu's Skytree Line an interchange with Minami-Koshigaya on the year-old Musashino Line; transfer passengers had previously walked roughly one kilometre from Gamō. Land negotiations delayed the opening by about fifteen months. Elevation work began in 1989; down platforms were raised on 8 October 1993 and up platforms on 2 November 1994. Quadruple-tracking south to Sōka was completed in March 1997 and the station became a rapid stop at the same revision. A five-storey building housing the Variē shopping complex opened on 26 March 1998. Station number TS-20 was assigned on 17 March 2012 and platform edge doors entered service in March 2021.

Notes

Because the Musashino Line had been built elevated first, the later raising of the Tobu line required Shin-Koshigaya's platforms to span across the JR viaduct at roughly the height of a five-storey building.
