Notes
The hill west of the station is locally known as "Musen-yama" because Kokusai Denwa (now KDDI) sited a pre-war communications facility on its summit. The site was decommissioned at the end of the Shōwa era and is now designated under Saitama Prefecture's "Green Trust" conservation programme — buildings have gone up on parts of the former facility, but the area retains its forested character.
