The tower station stands on the border of the districts of Bubaichō in the west and Katamachi in the east, about one kilometer southwest of the city center. The station part of the Keiō line is oriented from north to south. It occupies the upper level and has two tracks on completely covered side platforms . Its northern half is at ground level, while the southern half is on a dam. The double-track section of the station of the Nambu line, oriented from east to west, extends almost at right angles to it. This lies on the lower level in a cut that is partly open to the north. It has two roofed and slightly curved side platforms that only touch the upper level in the far west. Due to different track gauges (1372 mm and 1067 mm) there is no track connection between the two lines.
The single-storey station building is at an acute angle at the northeast corner of the route crossing. From here you can get directly to the eastern platform of the Keiō Line and the northern platform of the Nambu Line. An angled pedestrian bridge leads from the east side of the reception building to the southern platform of the Nambu line and to the station forecourt. The western platform of the Keiō line can be reached via a passenger tunnel . In addition, a staircase connects the southern platform of the Nambu line with the eastern platform of the Keiō line.
In the 2018 fiscal year, an average of 137,021 passengers used the station every day. Of these, 95,736 were on the Keiō line and 41,285 on the Nambu line.

history
The Gyokunan Tetsudō , a subsidiary of the railway company Keiō Denki Kidō (today Keiō Dentetsu ), opened the line between Fuchū and Higashi-Hachiōji (today Keiō-Hachiōji ) on March 24, 1925 . This also included a train station on the western edge of the city center with the name Yashikibun ( 屋 敷 d, German "mansion"). On 1 December 1926, went Gyokunan tetsudō into its parent company, whereupon the west of Fuchū in Cape gauge (1,067 mm) laid track on 1372 mm umgespurt was and connected to the Keio Line. The Nambu Tetsudō ( 南 武 鉄 道 ) extended the Nambu line from Ōmaru to here on December 11, 1928 , at the same time the station was given its current name Bubaigawara. This commemorates two battles (1333 during the Genkō War and 1454 at the beginning of the Kyōtoku uprising) that took place nearby. A samurai equestrian statue created in 1988 by the sculptor Tominaga Naoki on the southern station forecourt depicts Nitta Yoshisada , the victorious general of the first battle of Bubaigawara.
On March 12, 1929, the Keiō Denki Kidō moved its station by a few dozen meters to its current location in order to create better connections to the station of the Nambu Tetsudo . This in turn extended its route on December 11, 1929 from Bubaigawara to Tachikawa and thus completed it. Due to the forced nationalization of the Nambu Tetsudō on April 1, 1944, the Nambu line went into the possession of the state railway , which stopped the cargo handling in Bubaigawara on the same day. As a result of the privatization of the state railway, the new railway company JR East was responsible for this part of the station from April 1, 1987.
