history

The Chūō main line had already been opened by the Kōbu Tetsudō in 1889 , but the trains ran here without stopping for over three decades. This changed on July 15, 1922 with the commissioning of a new station by the Ministry of Railways . Until the mid-1960s, the station was two-track and at ground level. Then the Japanese State Railways expanded the Ogikubo - Mitaka section from two to four tracks and at the same time relocated it to a viaduct. The new systems went into operation on April 6, 1969. 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 .
