The station is in the Ochiai district, with the two railway lines running parallel on viaducts from east to west. There are six tracks, all of which are used for passenger traffic (freight traffic is not carried out). The station part of Keiō located on the north side comprises four tracks on two central platforms , the southern station part of Odakyū two tracks on two side platforms . All platforms are covered over their entire length. The railway tracks are crossed immediately west of the platforms by the monorail running in a south-north direction, its route is about ten meters above the prefecture road 156 ( Hino - Machida ).
The viaduct with the platforms forms the top of three levels of an extensive building complex that is shared by both railway companies. The distribution level with the integrated bus station extends below this . On the lowest level there are taxi ranks , parking lots and shops. Numerous stairs, elevators and escalators connect the levels. The station of the monorail is around 200 meters southwest of the station and is connected to the railroad distribution level by a wide footbridge. It is aligned so that the route can be extended to the south without any problems. Parthenon Boulevard begins on the south side of the station . This approximately 400-meter-long shopping street , reserved exclusively for pedestrians , is lined with several shopping centers, shops and cultural institutions.
In the 2018 fiscal year, an average of 178,638 passengers used the station every day. Of these, 90,216 were on the Keiō Sagamihara line, 51,318 on the Odakyū Tama line and 37,104 on the monorail.

history
The hilly area around the train station was once very rural, with a few small villages in the Kota valley. In the 1960s, the development of Tama New Town , a planned city for more than 200,000 inhabitants, began. It should help alleviate the housing shortage in central Tokyo . Both the Keiō Teito Dentetsu (today's Keiō Dentetsu ) and the Odakyū Dentetsu strove to open up the designated area with new rail lines. The Ministry of Transport carefully ensured that the planned routes did not compete with one another as much as possible and awarded the concessions accordingly. Both companies agreed to run their routes in the center in the urban area of Tama about three and a half kilometers in parallel in order to minimize land consumption.
The first to reach the station was the Keiō Sagamihara Line , when it was extended from Keiō Yomiuri Land to this point on October 18, 1974 . The completion of the Odakyū Tama line was delayed by half a year, so that the line initially ended in the neighboring Odakyū-Nagayama station. The missing section to the Tama Center was added on April 23, 1975. On March 27, 1990 the Odakyū Dentetsu extended their route to Karakida . Finally, the Tokyo Tama Intercity Monorail completed the transport hub with the opening of the section of the Tama monorail from Tachikawa-Kita to Tama-Center on January 10, 2000.
