history

The Chūō main line had existed since 1889, but the trains initially ran for ten years without stopping. On December 30, 1899, the private railway company Kōbu Tetsudō took the Kichijōji station for passenger and freight traffic into operation. Nearly seven years later, the KOBU tetsudō was born on October 1, 1906 nationalized . The Teito Dentetsu , a private railway company belonging to the Odakyū group , extended the Teito line beginning in Shibuya on April 1, 1934 from Inokashira-kōen to Kichijōji. On May 1, 1940, the Teito Dentetsu merged with the Odakyū Dentetsu , which in turn temporarily merged with Tōkyū two years later . As a result of a restructuring of the group, the Teito line came on June 1, 1948 under the current name Inokashira line in the possession of the Keiō Teito Dentetsu (since 1998 Keiō Dentetsu ).

On April 5, 1965, the Japanese State Railways stopped cargo handling on the Chūō main line. This created space for a significant expansion of the line, in particular relocating it to a viaduct and building an additional double lane. Thus, from April 6, 1969, four through tracks were available. In addition, two new reception buildings with integrated shopping centers were built: in 1969 the Kichijōji LonLon over the Chūō main line and in 1970 the Echo terminal over the Inokashira line. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the older part of the station went into the possession of the new railway company JR East on April 1, 1987 . In 2009/10, JR East subjected the Kichijōji LonLon to a comprehensive renovation and gave it the new name Atré Kichijōji . Keiō Dentetsu, however, had the Echo Terminal demolished in April 2010 ; in its place a new building called Kirarina Keiō Kichijōji was built , which was opened in April 2014.
