links
Chōfu is a separation station on the Keiō Line that connects Shinjuku with Keiō-Hachiōji . From this the Keiō Sagamihara line branches off to Hashimoto . Both are operated by the Keiō Dentetsu railway company. With the exception of the Keio Liner , all local, express and express trains that run here stop in Chōfu, making the station one of the most important of the entire Keiō route network. During the day, up to 21 trains per hour run eastwards to Shinjuku in central Tokyo , during the morning rush hour up to 27. In a westerly direction there are 12 to 14 trains every hour on the Keiō line and 9 to 13 trains on the Sagamihara line.
There is a bus terminal each on the north and south of the station forecourt , both of which have the shape of a roundabout with stops arranged around them. The more important terminal in the north is served by two dozen lines of the companies Keiō Bus Chūō , Keiō Bus Higashi , Keisei Transit Bus , Odakyū Bus and Tokyo Airport Transportation . A dozen lines from Kanagawa Chūō Kōtsu Keiō Bus Higashi and Odakyū Bus operate from the south .

The tunnel station, completed in 2012, is located in the Fuda district, in the middle of the city center. With the exception of the entrance pavilions, the entire facility is underground and spread over three levels. The distribution level with sales facilities and platform barriers extends directly below the surface of the earth . The station, which is oriented from east to west, has four tracks which, due to the limited space, run in two tunnels lying one above the other. The trains to the west stop in the second basement, and the trains to the east stop in the third basement. On both levels, the tracks are on wide central platforms that are equipped with platform screen doors. Stairs, escalators and elevators connect the levels, with one of the escalators leading directly from the first to the third basement.
Nothing has been preserved from the old above-ground facility, which had four tracks on two central platforms. In place of the previous reception building on the north side, the Trie Keiō Chōfu shopping center was built , which, like the railway company, belongs to the Keio Group . It opened on September 29, 2017 and comprises 80 shops and a multiplex cinema . The former route is used as a cycle path and sidewalk, partly as a parking lot.
In the 2018 fiscal year, an average of 129,968 passengers used the station every day.

history
On April 15, 1913, the railway company Keiō Denki Kidō (today's Keiō Dentetsu ) opened the first section of the Keiō line , which led from Sasazuka to Chōfu. The two-track, ground-level station at the time was a little further west than it is today and was the western terminus for around three years. On June 1, 1916, the Keiō Denki Kidō took the first short section of the Keiō Sagamihara line to Keiō-Tamagawa in operation, which, however, remained an insignificant branch line for over half a century. Of far greater importance was the expansion of the Keiō line. It was extended on 1 September 1916 by Chōfu after Tobitakyū and handed two months later to Fuchū . The original station reached its capacity limits, which is why it was moved to its current location; the new four-track system went into operation on December 10, 1953.
This station, too, developed into a bottleneck over time, especially because of the level branching immediately to the west of it. Trains of the Keiō Line and the now extended Sagamihara Line blocked each other. In addition, there were numerous level crossings on both sides of the station, which massively impeded road traffic in the city center of Chofu. In 2003, the decision was made to move a total of 3.7 km of route including the Chōfu, Fuda and Kokuryō stations into a tunnel, to expand the junction to an underground overpass structure and to lift 18 level crossings. Construction work began in September 2004, and from September 14, 2008, passengers used a temporary riding station instead of the previous passenger tunnel . On August 19, 2012, the trains began to drive through the tunnel, after which the demolition of the old systems began. Two years later, all work was completed.
