Location

History

Eifukuchō Station opened on 1 August 1933 as a stop on the Teito Electric Railway, the predecessor of today's Keio Inokashira Line. Wartime consolidation pushed the line through Odakyū and then the conglomerate Greater Tokyu, and on 1 June 1948 the newly separated Keio Teito Electric Railway took ownership. The adjoining Eifukuchō depot and workshops moved to Fujimigaoka in April 1970, and on 15 December 1971 the platforms were rebuilt as two islands serving four tracks, introducing limited-stop Express service and giving Eifukuchō the only passing loops on the Inokashira Line. A new over-track station building opened on 21 March 2010, and the Keio Retnade shopping centre followed on 23 March 2011. Platform-edge doors were activated in stages through 2024–2025.

Notes

Eifukuchō is the only station on the Keio Inokashira Line with passing loops, allowing express and local trains to swap riders in both directions.
