history

The Gyokunan Tetsudo , a 1922 subsidiary founded Keio Denki Kido (now Keio Dentetsu ), opened the station on March 24, 1925. At that time he was called Higashi-Hachiōji ( 東八王子 ) and was above ground on Kōshū Kaidō (today's National Road 20 ) , about 200 meters northwest of the current location. The railway line leading to Fuchū was built in Kapspur (1067 mm) because the state had promised funding for it. When this did not materialize, the Gyokunan Tetsudō went on December 1, 1926 in its parent company. This then carried out a re-gauging , which was completed on June 1, 1927 and enabled continuous connections to Shinjuku from May 1928 . From 1929 to 1939 there was a connection to the tram line of the Musashi Chūō Denki Tetsudō .

An air raid by the United States Army Air Forces on August 2, 1945 caused severe damage. The temporarily rebuilt station was moved to its current location on December 11, 1963 and renamed Keiō-Hachiōji. The previously single-track section to the neighboring Kitano station was given a second track on June 3, 1970, with the result that the entire Keiō line was now expanded to double-track. The capacity of the above-ground terminus remained limited as it was too short for express trains with ten cars. For this reason, it was moved underground at the same location. After several years of construction, the tunnel station was put into operation on April 2, 1989. The K-8 shopping center, which opened its doors on September 15, 1994, was built on the disused site.
