The railway company Keiō Denki Kidō (today's Keiō Dentetsu ) opened on October 31, 1916 the section Tobitakyū– Fuchū of the Keiō line . At the same time, they also took the Hachimanmae station ( 八 幡 前 ) into operation, which was about 500 meters west of today's station. To improve the development of the nearby Tokyo racecourse , the temporary Rinji Keibajōmae ( 臨時 12. 馬 ) station was added on September 12, 1935 . On September 1, 1937, Hachimanmae was given the name Higashi-Fuchū . Three years later, on October 26, 1940, it was merged with the temporary station. With the opening of the Keiō Keibajō line on April 29, 1955, the former through station developed into a separation station. The former station building was replaced by a new building that opened on April 10, 2011.
