Sashiogi Station
Lines
Sashiōgi Station is served by the Kawagoe Line between Kawagoe and Ōmiya, and is located 7.7 km from Ōmiya. Most trains continue beyond Ōmiya on the Saikyō Line to Shinjuku and Shin-Kiba. Services operate every 20 minutes during the daytime.
Station layout
The station has two side platforms serving two tracks. The station entrance was previously located on the south side only, with the platforms connected by a footbridge, but a new north entrance was added in March 2014 as part of a scheme to completely rebuild the station with the ticket barriers located on the second floor, above the platforms, and allowing free passage between the north and south sides of the tracks. The station is staffed.

History
The station opened on 22 July 1940 in what was then the village of Sashiōgi in Kita-Adachi District, Saitama. The line was electrified on 30 September 1985, from which date through-running began to and from the Saikyo Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.
Work to rebuild the station started in 2012, and the new north entrance to the station was opened on 9 March 2014. Station rebuilding was completed during fiscal 2014, including a new station forecourt on the north side.
