As a rule, twelve trains per hour are offered during the day, and more than twenty during the morning rush hour.

The train station is in the center of the eponymous district of Shibuya on a viaduct . It is oriented from east to west and has four tracks, which are located on two covered central platforms . The two outer tracks 1 and 4 are reserved for the express and express trains on the Keiō line, which run to and from the terminal station of the Keiō Dentetsu in Shinjuku . Local traffic and subway trains that are routed to the New Keiō Line or come from there stop on inner tracks 2 and 3, which end bluntly about 250 meters west of the station .

history

The railway company Keiō Denki Kidō (today's Keiō Dentetsu ) opened on April 15, 1913 the first section of the Keiō line , which reached from Sasazuka to Chōfu . The station was at ground level and at that time had a small depot . Sasazuka was the eastern terminus for almost half a year, until the tram-like route was extended by a few hundred meters to the Hatashiro stop, which no longer exists today. From 1915 the Keiō line led to Shinjuku . After half a century, the double-track system, which had meanwhile been expanded to meet railway standards, had reached its capacity limit. To relieve the easternmost section of the Keiō Line, a tunnel section between Sasazuka and Shinjuku with largely parallel routes was built in the 1970s. The station was converted into an elevated system with four tracks, which went into operation on July 21, 1978. The opening of the New Keiō Line took place three months later on October 31. In 2010, the platforms were lengthened and since then they can accommodate trains with ten cars instead of the previous eight.
