About 200 meters further north is the Izumi campus of Maiji University in the Suginami district . The station part of the Keiō line is oriented from east to west. It is located on the upper floor on a viaduct and has two tracks on two fully covered side platforms . The station section of the Keiō Inokashira line, oriented from south to north, extends almost at right angles to it. This is located on the lowest level in an incision and also has two tracks on two partially covered side platforms. Due to different track gauges (1372 mm and 1067 mm) there is no track connection between the two lines.
The reception building , which acts as a distribution level , is located on the ground floor between the traffic levels under the viaduct . The platform barriers are also there . Stairs, elevators and escalators provide the connection to the platforms. In February 2001, the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization installed a solar system on the platform roofs , which produces all the electricity required by the station on site.

history
The Keiō Denki Kidō opened on April 15, 1913 the first section of the Keiō line between Sasazuka and Chōfu . On the same day, it also opened the Kayakukomae ( 火 薬 庫 前 ) station , which was named after a nearby gunpowder depot of the Imperial Japanese Army . In 1917 the name was changed to Matsubara ( 松原 ), after the village of the same name nearby. On August 1, 1935, another railway company, the Teito Dentetsu , opened the first section of today's Keiō Inokashira line between Shibuya and Inokashira-kōen. Your train station was directly adjacent to the older one, but was called Nishi-Matsubara ( 西松 原 , German: "West Matsubara"). In the early 1930s, the Izumi campus of Meiji University was built on the site of the former gunpowder depot , which is why both parts of the station were given the new common name Meidaimae ("in front of Meiji University") on February 8, 1935.
In 1942 the Keiō Denki Kidō became part of the Daitōkyū conglomerate, two years later also the Teito Dentetsu , with which the station was now under the control of a single railway company. With the dissolution of the conglomerate, the Keiō Teito Dentetsu (since 1998 Keiō Dentetsu ) was responsible from June 1, 1948 . The station has been expanded and modernized several times since then to keep up with the growing number of passengers. On May 24, 2007, the Frente Meidaimae shopping center opened .
