Location
History
The station opened on 15 July 1927 as Futako Tram Stop on the Tamagawa Electric Railway's Mizonokuchi Line, then operated as a tramway-act streetcar stop. It was renamed Futako-Shinchi-mae around 1935 and became a full rail station with narrow-gauge regauging on 1 July 1943 when the line was absorbed into the Ōimachi Line. The structure was raised onto a viaduct after the dedicated Futako Bridge was completed on 18 March 1966, and the station's present name was adopted on 16 December 1977. Platform reconfiguration during the Den-en-toshi Line's quadruple-track project ran from 31 January 2005, and the new west entrance opened on 4 July 2009 ahead of full completion on 11 July 2009.
Notes
The 'shinchi' in the station name recalls the pleasure quarter that grew up here when the Tama River was finally bridged: the shogunate had restricted bridges, so the Futako ferry long carried the Ōyama-kaidō across, and the surrounding country was quiet farmland with a few post inns and no entertainment district until geisha were called in to entertain officials and the quarter that opened became known as Futako Shinchi. Streetlamp posts bearing plaques of the 'Futako Sangyō Kumiai' still stand throughout the neighbourhood.
