History

Sakuragichō is one of Japan's oldest stations. It opened on June 12, 1872 as 'Yokohama Station' when the service between Shinagawa and Yokohama provisionally started. The station was renamed Sakuragichō Station on August 15, 1915 when the next Yokohama Station opened (near Takashimachō Station).
Between March 31, 1932 and January 30, 2004, Sakuragichō Station was the terminus of the Tōkyū Tōyoko Line.
On April 24, 1951, a JNR Keihin Line (now part of the Negishi Line) train approaching the station caught fire when the train hit a loose overhead wire and caused a short circuit. The fire killed 106 and injured 92.[1]
