Chronology

11 December 2017: Sōtetsu finalised the station name as Hazawa yokohama-kokudai Station.[2] However, as of that time the route name was still provisional. The station's name comes from its locale, Hazawa (羽沢), and also its neighbouring university, the Yokohama National University, or in Japanese, Yokohama Kokudai (横浜国大).
30 November 2019: Opening of the Sōtetsu JR Link Line.[2]
18 March 2023: Opening of the Sōtetsu Shin-yokohama Line extension towards Shin-yokohama.[3]
