Yamato Station (大和駅 Yamato-eki) is a train station on the Sagami Railway in the city of Yamato, Kanagawa, Japan. It is 14.7 rail kilometers from the terminus of the Sagami Railway at Yokohama Station and 39.9 rail kilometers from the terminus of the Odakyu Line at Shinjuku Station
History
Yamato Station was opened on May 12, 1926 as a station on the Jintsu Railway. The Odakyu Station was opened on April 1, 1929 slightly to the west of the existing station, and was named Nishi-Yamato Station (西大和駅 Nishi-Yamato-eki). On June 1, 1944, Yamato Station was relocated to become adjacent to Nishi-Yamato Station, with the new joint station taking the name “Yamato Station”. The station building was completely reconstructed in a multiyear project beginning from 1986. In 1993, the tracks and platform of the Sagami Railway were relocated to a subway level, which created room for expansion of the Odakyu station to two platforms in 1996.
