history

The Gyokunan Tetsudō , a subsidiary of the railway company Keiō Denki Kidō (today Keiō Dentetsu ) opened on March 24, 1925 the line between Fuchū and Higashi-Hachiōji (today Keiō-Hachiōji ), including the Kitano station. On 1 December 1926, went Gyokunan tetsudō into its parent company, whereupon the west of Fuchū in Cape gauge (1,067 mm) moved distance mm 1372 umgespurt was. To develop the Musashi Imperial Cemetery , the Keiō Goryō line branching off in Kitano was created a few years later and went into operation on March 20, 1931. However, this had to be stopped on January 21, 1945, because the government considered the line to be "not urgent" and ordered the dismantling of the facilities in order to use them elsewhere.

In the early 1960s, the Keio Group decided to open up the emerging housing estates in the south of Hachiōji with a new railway line. For this purpose, she rebuilt part of the route of the Goryō Line and extended it under the name Keiō Takao Line to Takaosanguchi at the foot of Mount Takao . The line, which also begins in Kitano, was opened on October 1, 1967. At the end of the 1980s, the originally ground-level station was converted into an elevated system; the work was completed February 29, 1992.
