History
Kinugawa-Kōen Station opened in May 1939 on what is now the Tōbu Kinugawa Line, primarily as access to the Kinugawa hot-spring district at the northern end of the resort town. Service was suspended twice in its early years — from October 1944 to September 1950 during and after the Pacific War, and again from December 1961 to December 1962 — before being permanently resumed. A new station building was completed in 2006. Station numbering was introduced across the Tōbu network in 2012, with the station designated TN-56; the number was changed to TN-57 in April 2017 in preparation for the opening of Tōbu World Square Station in July of that year.
