History
Details of the proposed station were announced by JR East in January 2015, with the station provisionally named Odasakae-Shin Station (小田栄新駅).[3] A public ballot was held in August 2015 to select the name of the new station from among three candidates: Odasakae Station (小田栄駅), Oda-Kawasaki Station (小田川崎駅), and Oda-Yasaka-Shin Station (小田弥栄駅).[1] The name Odasakae was announced in September 2015.[4]
The total construction cost of approximately 548 million yen was borne equally by JR East and the city of Kawasaki.[4]
