[edit] History

• May 7, 1872 (June 12 in Gregorian calendar): Yokohama Station (original station, now Sakuragichō Station) opens as one of the first railway stations in Japan.
• July 11, 1887: The railway is extended from Yokohama to Kōzu Station. Through trains between Shimbashi Station and Kōzu Station require a switchback at Yokohama Station.
• August 1, 1898: A line bypassing Yokohama Station is opened to avoid the switchback. Through trains stop at Kanagawa Station or Hodogaya Station instead of Yokohama Station, and shuttle trains connect Yokohama and Hodogaya.
• August 15, 1915: The second Yokohama Station opens close to the present day Takashimachō Station to allow Tōkaidō Main Line trains to call at Yokohama Station. The original Yokohama Station is renamed Sakuragichō Station. The Yokohama–Hodogaya shuttle trains cease. JR East uses this date as the opening date of the current Yokohama Station.[1]
