Kami-Kumagaya Station is served by the single-track Chichibu Main Line from Hanyū to Mitsumineguchi, and is located 15.8 km from Hanyū.[1]
The station was also served by the non-electrified 10.1 km single-track Tobu Kumagaya Line from Kumagaya to Menuma until it closed on 31 May 1983.[2]
Station layout
The station is staffed and consists of a single island platform serving one bidirectional track. The platform is situated between the elevated Joetsu Shinkansen tracks and the JR Takasaki Line tracks, and the track of the former Tobu Kumagaya Line still remains alongside the now fenced-off rear face of the platform.[3]
