History

Sōbudaishita Station was opened on April 29, 1931 as Zamashindo Station (座間新戸駅, Zama-Shindo-eki) on the Sagami Railway. With the opening of the nearby Imperial Japanese Army Academy (Rikugun Shikan Gakkō, or Rikushi), the station was renamed Rikushimae Station (陸士前駅, Rikushimae-eki) on September 28, 1938. However, amid the counter-intelligence movement of eliminating the names of military facilities from maps, the station was soon renamed to its present name in 1940.^[1] On June 1, 1944, the Sagami Railway was nationalized and merged with the Japanese Government Railways. Freight services were discontinued from October 1962. On April 1, 1987, with the dissolution and privatization of the Japanese National Railways, the station came under the operation of JR East. Automated turnstiles using the Suica IC card system came into operation from November 2001. A station master's office was added in 2004.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2014, the station was used by an average of 1,241 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).^[2]
