history

The part of the Chūō main line leading through the urban area has existed since 1889, but a train station at this point was a long time coming. In 1927, the Ministry of Railways planned for the first time an outer ring on which freight trains were to circumnavigate the greater Tokyo area. The Pacific War and its aftermath delayed the realization of the project for decades. Finally, construction began on the Musashino Line in December 1965. At Nishi-Kokubunji, initially only an underpass under the Chūō main line was planned. When the Japanese State Railways decided to also carry out passenger traffic on the resulting route in the future, they commissioned the construction of a crossing station. On April 1, 1973, it took the Musashino Line and Nishi-Kokubunji Station into operation at the same time. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the possession of the new railway company JR East on April 1, 1987 .
