Station history
Tsurumaki-Onsen Station was opened on April 1, 1927, on the Odakyu Odawara Line of the Odakyu Electric Railway with normal and 6-car limited express services as Tsurumaki Station (鶴巻駅, Tsurumaki-eki). It was given its present name on March 15, 1937, but reverted to its original name in 1944 as wartime authorities felt that the onsen in the name appeared frivolous in light of wartime austerities. The current name was restored only in 1987.[1] A Hadano-city-owned public onsen called Kobo-no-Sato-yu[2] is only two minutes from the north exit (across the road, turn left, then right at the next corner).
