Naming
[edit]Between August and September 2020, Tokyu Corporation held a public survey to decide the name of this station. The questionnaire asked the participants to choose between "Shin-Tsunashima" (lit. New Tsunashima) and "Higashi-Tsunashima" (東綱島, lit. East Tsunashima) or suggest a different name which is not "Tsunashima". The survey saw 1898 people submitted their answers. "Shin-Tsunashima" won with 381 votes. "Tsunashima-onsen" (綱島温泉, lit. Tsunashima Hot-spring) was the most popular free suggestion with 247 votes, more than the 176 votes of "Higashi-Tsunashima". Other notable suggestions were "Tsunashima Higashi" (綱島東) and "Ōtsunabashi" (大綱橋).[7][8]
Ticketing
[edit]Because of the close proximity between Shin-Tsunashina and Tsunashima stations, all fares between Shin-tsunashima and Hiyoshi are the same as between Tsunashima and Hiyoshi. All season/commuter passes which cover the section between Tsunashima and Hiyoshi allow entering/exiting Shin-Tsunashima without additional charge, and vice versa.[9] However, there is no free out-of-station interchange arrangement between Shin-tsunashima and Tsunashima. Exiting one station and entering the other station is treated as starting a separate journey.[10]
History
[edit]Shin-Tsunashima Station opened on 18 March 2023, coinciding with the opening of the Tōkyū Shin-Yokohama Line.[1]
