History
Den-en-chōfu Station opened on 11 March 1923 as a station on the Meguro-Kamata Electric Railway's Meguro - Maruko (now Numabe) line. Originally named Chōfu Station with opposed side platforms, it was renamed Den-en-chōfu on 1 January 1926. On 28 August 1927 the Tōyoko Line station opened and a Mekama Line platform was added on the east side, expanding the station to three platforms and four tracks. A footbridge between platforms was replaced by an underpass in November 1964. As part of the Tōyoko Line quadruple-tracking project, the original station buildings were demolished in September 1990; the Mekama Line platforms went underground on 27 November 1994, the Tōyoko Line platforms followed in 1995, and the new underground station was completed on 12 March 1996.
Notes
The 1923 station building, designed by Yabe Kintarō, was demolished in 1990 for the underground rebuild but reconstructed in January 2000 as a non-functional landmark above the new entrance plaza, at a cost of roughly one hundred million yen.
