History
Higashi-Koizumi Station is a Tobu Railway station on the Koizumi Line in Ōizumi, Gunma, numbered TI-44 and located 11.0 km from Tatebayashi. It opened on 1 December 1941 as Koizumi Signal Stop (小泉信号所) following the 1 June 1941 extension from Ōta. It was upgraded to a full passenger station in April 1942 and renamed Higashi-Koizumi; passenger service was withdrawn in 1955 and the site reverted to a signal stop until 1 April 1977, when service was restored to coincide with the opening of nearby Nishi-Ōra High School. The station is the junction where the Koizumi Line's main route to Tatebayashi and Nishi-Koizumi diverges from the Ōta branch.

Notes
Track 2's starting bell uses "Maiden's Prayer" (乙女の祈り, Bądarzewska), continuing to sound after departure until the signal returns to red.
