description
Fuchū-Hommachi is a separation station on the Nambu Line , which connects Kawasaki with Tachikawa . From this the Musashino Line branches off, which bypasses the central districts of Tokyo in a semicircle in the north and leads to Nishi-Funabashi in Chiba Prefecture . The section to Tsurumi south of Fuchū-Honmachi is reserved for freight traffic. On the Nambu line, regional trains run every four to ten minutes, depending on the time of day; there are also express trains twice an hour that skip several intermediate stations. On the Musashino line, regional trains usually run every seven to ten minutes either to Nishi-Funabashi, Kaihinmakuhari or - transitioning to the Keiyō line - to Tokyo . A regional train runs directly to Ōmiya twice a day . On the station forecourt buses stop on one line each of the companies Keiō Dentetsu Bus and Chū Bus .
The train station is in the eastern part of the Honmachi district. It is oriented from south to north and has six tracks, four of which are used for passenger traffic. Trains on the Nambu Line use the two outermost tracks and stop at side platforms , while trains on the Musashino Line use two butt tracks on a central platform . One track each between the Nambu and Musashino lines is reserved for freight traffic. The station building has the shape of a riding station , which, together with the station forecourt, spans the entire complex. Opposite the usual platform barriers there is a second, significantly larger system of this type, which is only used during racing days at the nearby Tokyo horse racing track .
In the 2018 fiscal year, an average of 17,489 passengers used the station every day.

history
The private railway company Nambu Tetsudō opened the station on December 11, 1928, together with the section of the Nambu line located between Minami-Tama and Bubaigawara . During the Pacific War , the Japanese state strove to bring under its control various private railways of strategic importance that had emerged after the wave of nationalization in 1906/07 . According to an ordinance issued in 1941, a total of 22 railway companies were affected, including the Nambu Tetsudō , whose rail network passed into state ownership on April 1, 1944. On August 1, 1962, the Japanese State Railways stopped handling goods. Almost eleven years later, on April 1, 1973, the Fuchū-Honmachi- Shin-Matsudo section of the Musashino Line opened. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the possession of the new company JR East on April 1, 1987 .
