History
Minami-Hashimoto Station opened on 1 November 1932 as Ōkawara Siding on the privately built Sagami Railway, in what is now the city of Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture. It was renamed Sagamimachi Siding in 1940 and upgraded to Sagamimachi Station on 1 April 1941. On 1 June 1944 the Sagami Railway was nationalised into the Japanese Government Railways and the stop received its current name. The 1 April 1987 dissolution of JNR transferred operation to JR East. Scheduled freight working ended in 1996, Suica turnstiles came into service from November 2001, and the station building was comprehensively rebuilt in 2006. The station is staffed and sits 31.3 km from the Sagami Line terminus at Chigasaki.
