Located in the Saitama Prefecture in the Central Kanto Region is Kawaguchi Station, a ralway station on the Keihin-Tohoku Line and is operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).
The Station opened back in September 1910 and has an average of 80,410 passengers daily (as of 2013 and is the 55th busiest station operated by JR East).
