History
Komba Station opened on 1983-12-22 with the start of the Saitama New Urban Transit Ina Line (New Shuttle), with station code NS05. On 2001-05-01, after the merger of Urawa, Ōmiya and Yono, the address was updated to Saitama City, and on 2003-04-01, when Saitama City became a designated city, it became Saitama City Kita-ku. It is an elevated station with two side platforms and two tracks, with the Tōhoku and Jōetsu Shinkansen viaduct between them; the ticket gates are at the Ōmiya end. The Suica IC card became usable on 2007-03-18. The station sits near the boundary between Komba-machi and Yoshino-machi in Kita-ku; the precinct lies in Yoshino-machi, but the station name was drawn from Komba-machi to the north.

Notes
Komba Station's name comes from the next-door neighbourhood of Komba-machi, even though the station itself stands across the boundary in Yoshino-machi — a quirk inherited from the line's 1983 opening.
