Haijima is a crossing station where three lines from JR East and one line from Seibu Tetsudō meet. Local trains usually run five times an hour on the Ōme line during the day. During the morning rush hour, the train sequence in the direction of Tachikawa is compressed to up to two minutes, in the direction of Ōme up to eight trains per hour then run. On weekdays there are several free train connections from Shinjuku to Oku-Tama and Musashi-Itsukaichi with a stop in Haijima. On weekends and public holidays, three pairs of express trains run from Shinjuku to Haijima with a few stops, where the ten-part trains are separated (or reassembled) into two units: six cars run as Holiday Rapid Okutama to and from Oku-Tama, four cars as Holiday Rapid Akigawa to and from Musashi-Itsukaichi.

Local traffic on the Itsukaichi line consists of a half-hourly service that is condensed during rush hour. On the Hachikō Line , local trains usually run every 30 minutes from Hachiōji via Komagawa to Kawagoe , and every 20 minutes during rush hour. On the Seibu Haijima line to Seibu-Shinjuku , trains run four times an hour during the day, and up to six times an hour during the busy times of the day. On the south-western forecourt of the station there is a bus terminal that serves two dozen bus routes operated by Tachikawa Bus , City Bus Tachikawa and Nishi Tōkyō Bus . There are also two lines of Tachikawa Bus on the north side of the station.

The station is on the northwestern outskirts of Akishima, right on the border with Fussa . The complex, which is bounded on its east side by the Tamagawa Aqueduct , is oriented from the southeast to the northwest. It has ten tracks, seven of which are used for passenger traffic. The JR tracks are located on a side platform and on two central platforms . On the east side, the two butt- ended tracks of the Seibu Tetsudō are also on a central platform. All platforms are partially covered. The station building has the shape of a riding station , which spans the entire complex from west to east. Stairs, escalators and elevators connect down to the platform level. The small Dila Haijima shopping center is integrated into the station section of JR East . The equestrian station is set up in such a way that you can get from one entrance to the other without having to pass the platform barriers. Several walls are decorated with large-format stained glass .

The rail freight company JR Freight operates single wagon transport to and from Haijima. This is handled in a small freight yard, which is located in the southeast between the tracks of the Ōme line and the Hachikō line. Connected to it is a parking facility with six tracks. From the Hachikō Line again a more than 700 meter long branches siding from which the Seibu Haijima-line crosses and Yokota Air Base leads. It is used several times a week by tank car trains that deliver fuel to the air force base.

In the 2018 fiscal year, an average of 67,200 passengers used the station every day. Of these, 36,770 were accounted for by the Seibu Tetsudō and 30,430 by JR East.

history

The private railway company Ōme Tetsudō opened the station on November 19, 1894, together with the first section of the Ōme line from Tachikawa via Haijima to Ōme . In the early years, was track width 762 mm, up to gauging the usual Cape gauge (1,067 mm) on February 18, 1908. Another company that Itsukaichi tetsudō , took on 21 April 1925, the Itsukaichi line by Musashi-Itsukaichi in Business. However, their starting point was initially not in Haijima station itself, but about half a kilometer west of it; the gap was closed three and a half weeks later on May 15. The Itsukaichi Tetsudō extended its route on July 13, 1930 from Haijima to Tachikawa. On December 10, 1931, the state railway also reached the station when they took a section of the Hachikō line between Hachiōji and Higashi-Hanno into operation.

On October 3, 1940, Itsukaichi Tetsudō went on in the Nambu Tetsudō (both companies belonged to the Asano - Zaibatsu ). This in turn went into state ownership on April 1, 1944, as did the Ōme Tetsudō . Six months later, on October 11, 1944, the Tachikawa – Haijima section , which had only been opened 14 years earlier by Itsukaichi Tetsudō , was shut down. It was a short distance from the Ōme line, and the Ministry of Transport and Communications believed that the rails and vehicles would be needed much more urgently elsewhere, given the deteriorating course of the war. The Japanese State Railways , which has been in charge since 1949, replaced the station building, which had become too small, with a new one in 1959. On May 15, 1968, the Seibu Tetsudō completed the traffic junction when it extended the Seibu Haijima line from Tamagawa-Jōsui to this point (including its own station building on the northeast side). Since the south-western station building had again become too small, a new building was built again in 1971.

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 . The southwest entrance building from 1971 also turned out to be too small over time. Instead of expanding the existing structure, JR East and Seibu Tetsudō decided instead to build a joint riding station , which should also replace the narrow passenger tunnel. Construction work began in 2005. The first construction phase was completed in August 2007, the second in March 2010.
