History
Hohokus station construction made use of river stones, seen here shortly after its opening in 1908.
The station's current westbound structure was constructed in 1908 with river stones and a tile roof. This replaced facilities built in 1886 that burned. The first station, built in 1860, had also burned down several years after construction.[5] The eastbound side was an irregularly shaped waiting shed built in 1909.[7]
