history

railroad

The private railway company Kōbu Tetsudō had opened the section between Shinjuku and Tachikawa as early as 1889, but the trains initially ran without stopping for two and a half years. On December 21, 1891, the Ogikubo station was finally put into operation. The KOBU tetsudō was born on October 1, 1906 nationalized . In the area of ​​the station, the line had a second track from March 16, 1909, and electrical operation began on March 1, 1919. In 1927 the Ministry of Railways built an additional entrance on the north side and connected it to the existing entrance on the south side by means of an overpass. With the introduction of the Chūō rapid transit line on July 1, 1932, local transport was completely reorganized.

In 1960 the Japanese State Railways built a pedestrian bridge on the west side of the station, and three years later they completed an underground pedestrian passage on the east side. On April 3, 1966, the four-track expansion of the line between Nakano and Ogikubo was completed, making this station temporarily the new western terminus of the Chūō-Sōbu line . On the same day, the level crossing on the west side could be lifted. From April 6, 1969, the four-track section continued to Mitaka , and the terminus has been there ever since. For cost reasons, the state railway stopped handling goods on October 1, 1974. 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 .

In 1990 the new owner installed escalators at the north entrance . In 2004 she extended the eastern pedestrian passage to the south side to District Street 131. In July 2006 she installed new elevators and descending escalators on the platform of the Chūō rapid-transit railway line in the direction of Shinjuku, and in March 2007 elevators were added to the platform of the Chūō-Sōbu line . Four years later, the renovation of the northern forecourt was completed.

Subway

The Teito Kōsokudo Kotsu Eidan (short Eidan , since 2004 as Tōkyō Metro known) extended on 23 January 1962, the former Ogikubo line by 1.5 km from Minami-Asagaya to the station Ogikubo. Since April 1, 1972, the line has been called the Marunouchi Line . In March 1999, Eidan installed a new escalator moving downwards at the north entrance at the access barriers. On April 28, 2006, all platforms of the Marunouchi line will be equipped with platform screen doors for the safety of passengers .
