History
The new station was proposed by the local community, with the cities of Kumagaya and Gyoda sharing the station construction cost of approximately JPY192 million.[3] The name for the new station was officially announced in March 2016.[3] A public poll was held to choose the name for the new station, with Ryūtsū Center (流通センター, lit. "Distribution Center") receiving the most votes, but the name "Socio Ryūtsū Center" was ultimately chosen, incorporating the nickname for the nearby Kumagaya Distribution Center, to avoid confusion with other stations similarly named (notably Ryūtsū Center Station on the Tokyo Monorail).[2] Construction of the station structure and forecourt area commenced in fiscal 2016.[3]
The station opened for passengers on 1 April 2017.[4]
Surrounding area
The station is located in the city of Kumagaya, close to the border with the city of Gyoda.[2]
