is a passenger railway station located in Totsuka-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). The station was formerly operated by the Japanese National Railways (JNR).
Since this station was built a long time ago, it has been under repair.
Higashi-Totsuka Station is served by the Shà Ânan-Shinjuku Line and the Yokosuka Line. It is located 36.7 km from the terminus of the Yokosuka Line at Tokyo Station. The station is located on the Tà Âkaidà  Main Line, but trains operating on the Tà Âkaidà  Main Line do not stop at Higashi-Totsuka. Instead, there are a set of tracks on the left of Higashi Totsuka station where the trains on the Tokaido line pass (not to be confused with the tracks on the right, witch is operated by JR freight).
The station consists of a single island platform with two tracks. The station buildings are built above the platforms. The station had a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office, but it has been closed since August 2024.
The Yokosuka line and the Shà Ânan-Shinjuku through services share the exact same platforms.
Higashi-Totsuka Station opened as a station on the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on October 1, 1980, after local residents had petitioned the government for a railway station for over a half century. The opening coincided with the separation of the tracks for the Tà Âkaidà  Main Line and Yokosuka Line into two separate sets of tracks from Yokohama through à Âfuna Station.
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 44,389 passengers daily (boarding passengers only). Higashi totsuka station is very crowded in the morning and night rush hours. Whenever a train arrives at the station, there is a long line for the escalator going toward the station building, which is above the tracks. The escalator that goes down to the platforms of Higashi totsuka station changes to an escalator that goes up to the station building at 5:30 P.M JST.
The passenger figures (boarding passengers only) for previous years are as shown below.
