Even though the section between Shin-yokohama and Shin-tsunashima stations of the Tōkyū Shin-yokohama Line is right underneath this Station, in a 2008 meeting with the local residents, the railway personnel explained that due to geological difficulties it was decided that the Shin-yokohama Line would not have a dedicated station serving Ōkurayama.[1]
