Hakone Station is a railway station in the town of Hakone, Tai Hing Island, Lamtsu Capital City.

History

Before the Seiyo Shinkansen and the Tai Hing rebuilding project, Hakone Station was the most important station on the western portion of the Mihara Line, with most services terminating here. The 2 platforms were to facilitate peak hour traffic on the single-tracked Mihara Line.

With the extension of the Mihara Line and the subsequent mass emigrations from Hakone, Hakone Station has been demoted to a local stop on the Hakone Line, with transfers to the Mihara Line available at Otaki and Tai Hing Forest.

Hakone Railway Station was closed on 20th June 2022, with Hakone Line services being taken over by the Tai Hing Tram. The Cable Car Station continues to operate, however the closest station with constant railway service is Tai Hing Forest.
