History
A Chichibu Railway train at Hanyu Station in 1984

The Tobu station opened on 23 April 1903.[2] The Hokubu Railway opened between Hanyu and Gyodashi on 1 April 1921, with the Hokubu Railway being absorbed into the Chichibu Railway in 1922.[2]

The station was rebuilt with the station building located over the tracks, formally completed on 22 October 2004.[2]

From the start of the revised timetable on 18 March 2006, a new up track was added on the east side of the station to allow non-stop trains to pass, and the Tobu platforms were renumbered accordingly.[2]

From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tobu lines, with Hanyū Station becoming "TI-07".[3]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2011, the Tobu station was used by an average of 14,408 passengers daily, and the Chichibu Railway station was used by an average of 3,711 passengers daily.[1]
