Gōra Station has two side platforms, which are staggered, so that they do not directly oppose each other.
Gōra Station was opened on June 1, 1919 as a station on the Hakone Tozan Line. The Hakone Tozan Cable Car began operations from December 1, 1921, but operations were suspended from February 11, 1944 through July 1, 1950. The present station building was opened on April 16, 1977.[1]
On 1 April 2024, operations of the station came under the aegis of Odakyu Hakone resulting from restructuring of Odakyu Group operations in the Hakone area.[2]
