East Sariwŏn Station (or Tongsariwŏn Station) is a railway station located in Sariwŏn, North Hwanghae province, North Korea.[1] It is on located on the P'yŏngbu Line, which was formed from part of the Kyŏngŭi Line to accommodate the shift of the capital from Seoul to P'yŏngyang; though this line physically connects P'yŏngyang to Pusan via Dorasan, in operational reality it ends at Kaesŏng due to the Korean Demilitarized Zone.[1]

Originally called Sinbongsan Station, the station was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 1 December 1926.[2]
