description
Takaosanguchi is the western terminus of the Keiō Takao Line and also the westernmost station on the Keiō Dentetsu route network . Six to eight trains per hour are offered on weekdays, with almost all of them in Kitano being transferred to the subsequent Keiō line in the direction of Shinjuku or coming from there. In addition to local trains that stop at all stations, there are also numerous express trains. Due to the lively excursion traffic, the number of express trains on offer is higher on weekends and public holidays. There is a bus stop on the station forecourt, which is served by four lines of the Kanagawa Chūō Kōtsū and Keiō Bus Minami companies. The valley stations of a funicular and a chairlift operated by Takao Tozan Dentetsu on the touristically important Takao mountain are around 250 meters away .
The terminal station located in the district Takaomachi in the valley of Annai and is aligned from north to south. It has two butt- ended tracks on a covered central platform . Stairs and an elevator lead down to the underpass. This establishes the connection to the reception building on the east side of the system. The building, designed by the well-known architect Kengo Kuma , uses cedar wood from the area, the shape of the roof is modeled on that of the temple complex Yakuō-in on the Takao.
In the 2018 fiscal year, an average of 11,352 passengers used the station every day.

history
The station opened on October 1, 1967, along with the entire Keiō Takao line . With it, newly emerging residential areas in the south of Hachiōji should be connected to the Keiō route network and the excursion traffic on the Takao should be stimulated. It took the place of the Musashi Chūō Denki Tetsudō tram line , which was in operation from 1929 to 1939. After almost half a century, the original station building was renewed and rebuilt, the work was completed in April 2015.
