Takahatafudō is a separation station on the Keiō Line that connects Shinjuku with Hachiōji . From this the two-kilometer-long Keiō Dōbutsuen line branches off to Tama-Dōbutsukōen . Both belong to the Keiō Dentetsu railway company . All local, express and express trains stop in Takahatafudō, making the station one of the most important of the entire Keiō route network. During the day 12 to 14 trains per hour and direction are offered, in the evening nine to eleven. On the Dōbutsuen Line, the trains run every 20 minutes on weekdays. Due to the important excursion traffic to the Tama Zoo , this basic offer is supplemented by additional trains on weekends and holidays.

The station of the Tama monorail , which is operated by the Tokyo Tama Intercity Monorail company, is not directly connected to the Keio station . It connects Kamikitadai in the city of Higashiyamato with Tachikawa and Tama Center . During the day, the train runs every ten minutes, in the morning every five to seven minutes and in the evening every seven to eight minutes. There are several bus stops on the station forecourt, which are served by over a dozen lines of the company Keiō Dentetsu Bus and the city bus company Hino.

The Keiō station is in the Takahata district and faces east to west. It has four through tracks that are located on two covered central platforms . To the north there is a parking station with ten tracks. The station building has the shape of a riding station that spans all through tracks. Stairs, escalators and elevators lead down to the platforms from the elevated distribution level. The eastern part of the equestrian station is a public zone, which is connected to a covered pedestrian bridge over the parking station. In this way, it is possible to get from the station forecourt in the south to the residential and commercial district to the north without having to pass the platform barriers.

Attached to the east side of the station Rider is the six-story shopping center Keio Takahata Shopping Center ( 京王高幡ショッピングセンター) with over 40 stores. Like the railway company, it belongs to the Keio Group . The two top floors are used as a parking garage ; the roofs of both buildings also serve as parking spaces. In turn, there is a large bicycle parking facility in the basement of the shopping center .

The third floor of the shopping center provides access to the monorail elevated station, which crosses the Keiō line at right angles. It has two tracks on two side platforms , as well as a public pedestrian passage. There is an option for trains to turn, but this is only used in emergencies. The Takahatafudō depot extends east of the monorail, where Keiō Dentetsu trains are serviced and repaired. The facility on the north side of the Keiō line includes a double-track maintenance hall and over a dozen other sidings.

history

The Gyokunan Tetsudō , a subsidiary of the railway company Keiō Denki Kidō (today Keiō Dentetsu ), opened the line between Fuchū and Higashi-Hachiōji (today Keiō-Hachiōji ), including the Takahata station ( 高 幡 ) on March 24, 1925 . On 1 December 1926, went Gyokunan tetsudō into its parent company, whereupon the west of Fuchū in Cape gauge (1,067 mm) laid track on 1372 mm umgespurt was and connected to the Keio Line. Due to the proximity of the train station to the Buddhist temple Takahata Fudo, the appropriate renaming took place on May 1, 1937. For almost four decades, Takahatafudō was a through station. This changed on April 29, 1964 with the opening of the branching off Keiō Dōbutsuen line to Tama-Dōbutsukōen . The construction of this branch line also resulted in the relocation of the station 70 meters to the east to its current location.

On January 10, 2000, the Tokyo Tama Intercity Monorail railway company put the second section of the Tama monorail from Tachikawa-Kita to Tama-Center into operation. However, at that time there was no direct pedestrian connection between the facilities of Keiō Dentetsu and the monorail, which made it difficult to change trains. In December 2003 the construction of the Keio Takahata Shopping Center in between began , and a month later the new construction of the railway station building began. The first phase of the shopping center was available from December 2004, and from June 2006 the riding station could initially be used to a limited extent. All work was completed on March 25, 2007.
