Kokubunji is a connecting station on the JR East operated Chūō rapid transit line from Tokyo via Shinjuku and Hachiōji to Takao , whose tracks in this area are identical to those of the Chūō main line .
The Holiday Rapid Okutama stops in Kokubunji on weekends and public holidays . These express trains run three times a day in the morning from Shinjuku via Tachikawa to Oku-Tama and back in the evening (or as Holiday Rapid Akigawa to Musashi-Itsukaichi ). In addition, all local and express trains stop in Kokubunji on the Chūō rapid transit line, which results in a train sequence of just two minutes during rush hour . In addition, Kokubunji is the starting point of two lines of the Seibu Tetsudō railway company : the Kokubunji line leads to Higashi-Murayama , the Tamako line to Seibu-yūenchi . Trains on both lines run every ten minutes during the day and every 15 minutes in the evening.
There are several bus stops on both sides of the station, which are served by more than twenty lines of the companies Bunbus , Ginga Tetsudō , Keiō Bus , Seibu Bus and Tachikawa Bus . Tokyo Airport Transportation also offers an airport shuttle.

The station is on the border of the districts Honchō in the north and Minamichō in the south and comprises two parts. The much larger part is oriented from east to west and has five level tracks, all of which are used for passenger traffic. JR East trains stop at four through tracks, which are located on two covered central platforms . The northernmost, blunt- ended track is located on the also covered house platform and is reserved for trains on the Kokubunji line; there is no connection to the other tracks. The station building has the shape of a riding station and spans the entire complex. A side platform pointing in a north-westerly direction connects to the house platform . It is elevated on a viaduct with the truncated track of the Tamako line. On both sides of the tracks are high-rise buildings with shopping centers on the lower floors.
In the 2017 fiscal year, an average of 172,134 passengers used the station every day. Of these, 112,800 were on the Chūō rapid transit line, 38,770 on the Kokubunji line and 20,564 on the Tamako line.

history
The private railway company Kōbu Tetsudō opened the station on April 11, 1889, along with the Shinjuku - Tachikawa section of the Chūō main line . Five and a half years later, the Kawagoe Tetsudō (a predecessor of today's Seibu Tetsudō ) took the eight kilometer long Kawagoe line from Kokubunji to Higashi-Murayama into operation on December 21, 1894 , which has been referred to as the Kokubunji line since 1952 . On October 1, 1906, the Kōbu Tetsudō was nationalized .
In 1910, the Tokyo Jari Tetsudō ("Tokyo gravel line") built a freight line branching off from the Chūō main line. It was 5.6 km long and initially served to remove gravel from the Tama River . In 1920 it came into state ownership and was named Shimogawara Line . From April 2, 1934, it also served as a feeder to the Tokyo racecourse on racing days . Another Seibu predecessor, the Tamako Tetsudō , finally opened the first section of the Tamako Line between Kokubunji and Hagiyama on April 6, 1928 .
On April 1, 1973, the Japanese State Railways (JNR) shut down the Shimogawara line. For cost reasons, it stopped handling goods on September 20, 1976, and checked baggage on February 1, 1984. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the JNR part of the station went into the possession of the new company JR East on April 1, 1987 , while JR Freight took over the freight traffic. After two years of renovation work, four instead of two tracks were available on the Chūō rapid transit line from December 1, 1988, and the new reception building was also completed the following year .
