Sōka Station (草加駅, Sōka-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Sōka, Saitama, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Tōbu Railway. It is one stop away from the border between Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture.
Sōka Station is served by the Tōbu Skytree Line, and is 17.5 kilometers from the Tokyo terminus of the line at Asakusa Station.[1]
The station has two elevated island platforms with four tracks abutting the platforms, going in opposite directions. The station building is located underneath the platforms. Tracks one and six are used by non-stop trains and are not served by platforms, so the platform numbering starts with platform 2. Local trains use tracks 3 and 4 in their respective drections, whereas Express and Semi-Express trains use tracks 2 and 5.
