Hiratsuka Station has two island platforms serving four tracks, connected to the station building by a footbridge. The station building has large shopping complexes to the north and south of the tracks.
History
Hiratsuka Station was opened on July 11, 1887, for both freight and passenger service on what was later designated the Tokaido Main Line of Japanese National Railways (JNR). A number of short freight spur lines radiated out from Hiratsuka Station to serve the various industries which were developed in the vicinity of the station. Most of these spur lines were no longer in operation by 1924. The original station building was destroyed by soil liquefaction during the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake, which also brought down the bridge over the nearby Sagami River.
The station building was completely rebuilt in June 1973.
With the dissolution and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the East Japan Railway Company.
