Sōka Station (草加駅 Sōka-eki?) is a railway station on the Tobu Skytree Line in Sōka, Saitama, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Tobu Railway. It is one stop away from the border between Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture.
The station is served by the Tobu Skytree Line, and is 17.5 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Asakusa Station.
The station has two elevated island platforms with four tracks abutting the platforms, going in opposite directions. The station building is located underneath the platforms. Tracks one and six are used for through traffic and are not served by platforms, so the platform numbering starts with platform 2.
The station opened on 27 August 1899.
From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tobu lines, with Sōka Station becoming "TS-16".
