History
editTsurumaki-Onsen Station was opened on 1 April 1927, on the Odakyu Odawara Line of the Odakyu Electric Railway with normal and 6-car limited express services as Tsurumaki Station (鶴巻駅, Tsurumaki-eki). It was given its present name on 15 March 1937, but reverted to its original name in 1944 as wartime authorities felt that the onsen in the name appeared frivolous in light of wartime austerities. The current name was restored only in 1987.[1]
Station numbering was introduced in January 2014 with Tsurumaki-Onsen being assigned station number OH37.[2][3]
