history

The private railway company Kōbu Tetsudō had opened the section between Shinjuku and Tachikawa as early as 1889, but the trains initially ran without stopping for over three decades. The residents of the village of Asagaya petitioned for the construction of a train station, which was successful, while the village chief was able to convince the landowners to surrender the required plots. Finally, on July 15, 1922, the Ministry of Railways opened it . Until the early 1960s, the facility was two-track and at ground level, and freight traffic was never handled here. On September 22, 1964, the Japanese State Railways initially relocated the existing double track to a viaduct . This was followed by the expansion of the Nakano - Ogikubo section to four tracks. The work was completed on April 3, 1966 and on April 28 of the same year the Chūō-Sōbu line was extended. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the possession of the new railway company JR East on April 1, 1987 .
