Gōra Station (強羅駅, Gōra-eki) is a terminal railway station on the Hakone Tozan Line as well as the Hakone Tozan Cable Car, and is located in Hakone, Kanagawa, Japan. It is 15.0 km from the Hakone Tozan Line's southern terminus at Odawara Station. At an altitude of 533 meters (1,749 ft), it is the highest railway station in Kanagawa Prefecture.[citation needed]
Gōra Station is served by the Hakone Tozan Line and also by the Hakone Tozan Cable Car.
Gōra Station has two side platforms, which are staggered, so that they do not directly oppose each other.
Gōra Station was opened on June 1, 1919 as a station on the Hakone Tozan Line. The Hakone Tozan Cable Car began operations from December 1, 1921, but operations were suspended from February 11, 1944 through July 1, 1950. The present station building was opened on April 16, 1977.[1]
On 1 April 2024, operations of the station came under the aegis of Odakyu Hakone resulting from restructuring of Odakyu Group operations in the Hakone area.[2]
