History

[edit]
Hakone-Yumoto Station in 1919
The station forecourt in 2004 before remodelling

Hakone-Yumoto station opened on 1 October 1888, as "Odawara Horse-drawn Railway" terminal Yumoto Station, from Kōzu Station (on the Tokaido Main Line), via Odawara Station. On June 1, 1919, a new electrified funicular railway was opened from Hakone-Yumoto to Gōra, and the Hakone Tozan Railway (founded 1928) converted the Odawawa to Hakone-Yumoto tram line to a railway in 1935.

Since 1950, Odakyu Electric Railway provides through services from Shinjuku Station on its Odawara Line, by Limited Express "Romancecar" and Express (commuter trains). After 15 March 2008, Odakyu discontinued normal Express services on the Hakone Tozan Line. A new station building was completed in 2009.

Station numbering was introduced in January 2014 with Hakone-Yumoto being assigned station number OH51.[1][2]

On 1 April 2024, operations of the station under the Hakone Tozan Railway was transferred to the aegis of Odakyu Hakone resulting from restructuring of Odakyu Group operations in the Hakone area.[3]
