The last stop before the Odakyu crosses the Tama River: a small shopping street by the station and the riverbank a few minutes' walk away
Izumi-tamagawa is the Odakyu Line's last station on the Tokyo side before it crosses the Tama River; the next stop, Noborito, is already across the river in Kawasaki City. The west exit opens onto a station roundabout, and a short walk north is the small Izumi-tamagawa shopping street, with soba and ramen shops. A few minutes' walk southwest brings you to the banks of the Tama River.
It is some way from Komae City's busy centre, and it is a quiet residential area. Greenery ranks 56th of Tokyo's 167 neighbourhoods, a little better than the middle, and the green riverbanks are within walking distance. Since March 2025 Semi Express trains also stop here, and all of them run through onto the Chiyoda Line.
Everyday shopping ranks 166th, close to the very bottom. There are few supermarkets by the station, and residents say they often go to neighbouring Komae or Kitami stations to shop. For a doctor or pharmacy you will also have to look further afield, with medical and pharmacy access ranked 164th. The Inogata area south of the station sits right against the Tama River, where the embankment has failed six or more times in modern history.
The station opened in 1927 and was originally going to be called "Tamagawa". Because a station called "Inada-Tamagawa", today's Noborito Station, was also opening on the opposite bank, the place name "Izumi" was added to the front. In September 1974, heavy typhoon rain broke about 260 metres of the Tama River embankment at Inogata and swept away 19 houses. In 1977 the screenwriter Yamada Taichi used the flood as the backdrop for the TBS drama "Kishibe no Album" (literally "Album by the Riverbank"). A stone monument to the embankment failure still stands on the riverbank near the station (outside this neighbourhood). In the 1990s the railway was raised onto a viaduct and the station area was reorganised. The roads here used to be very narrow, and the nearest bus stop was about 200 metres away; buses only came up to the station once the roundabout was finished in 1999. From 2016 the station was served only by Local trains for a time, until Semi Express trains were added again in March 2025.
