Kita-omiya

History

Kita-Ōmiya Station opened on 12 April 1930 as part of the Sōbu Railway Noda Line, 1.2 km north of the Ōmiya terminus. Through municipal mergers and reorganisations the location shifted from the village of Ōmiya-machi to Ōmiya City in 1940, to Saitama City in 2001, and to Saitama City Ōmiya-ku at the city's 2003 ordinance-city move. Tōbu Railway absorbed the Sōbu Railway on 1 March 1944 under wartime consolidation. Departure melodies were added on 1 April 2008 and station operation was contracted out to Tōbu Station Service on 1 December 2009. The single island platform is reached by stairs and an underground passage, with a stair-lift available for wheelchair users.
