Tama-Dōbutsukōen is the southern terminus of the two-kilometer-long Keiō Dōbutsuen line of the Keiō Dentetsu railway company , which branches off the Keiō line in Takahatafudō . Trains run every 20 minutes on weekdays. Due to the important excursion traffic, this basic offer is supplemented by additional trains on weekends and holidays. This includes a pair of express trains to and from Shinjuku Station in downtown Tokyo . The Tama monorail , operated by Tokyo Tama Intercity Monorail, 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.

The complex consists of two unconnected parts on either side of the Hodokubo River. The ground-level terminus of the Keiō Dōbutsuen line is on the east bank . It is oriented from north-east to south-west and has two blunt- ended tracks that lie on a covered central platform . The platform in turn is connected to the station building at the southern end, which also has a souvenir shop. From there, the main entrance of the Tama Zoo can be reached via a bridge and a pedestrian crossing. The Keio Rail-Land railway museum and the HUGHUG children's amusement park, both of which are also part of the Keio Group , are attached to the station building . The massive monorail station rises on the west bank of the Hodokubo.
In the 2018 fiscal year, an average of 6,592 passengers used the railway station every day. The corresponding value for the station of the monorail in the fiscal year 2017 was 2,473.

history
After the opening of the Tama Zoo in 1958 and the TamaTech amusement park in 1961, excursion traffic increased sharply. To cope with this, the railway company built Keio Teito Dentetsu (now Keio Dentetsu ) one of the Keio line branching branch line and took that on 29 April 1964 in operation. In the 1970s, Meisei University and Chūō University each built a new campus nearby , which also made the Keiō Dōbutsuen line an important means of transport for students. A bus line from the train station ensured that the universities were well connected.
The Tokyo Tama Intercity Monorail railway company opened on January 10, 2000 the second section of the Tama monorail between Tachikawa-Kita and Tama-Center . Since the universities now had their own train station closer to home (Chūō-Daigaku-Meisei-Daigaku), the number of passengers at Tama-Dōbutsukōen station fell by over two thirds. The closure of TamaTec in September 2009 contributed to a further decline.
