Location

History

Futamatao Station opened on 1 January 1920 as part of the Ōme Railway (later Ōme Electric Railway), serving the section between Hinatawada and Futamatao in what is now Ōme, Tokyo. The line was nationalised on 1 April 1944 under wartime private-railway acquisition. The station passed to East Japan Railway Company on 1 April 1987 with the breakup of Japanese National Railways. An elevated station building was constructed in May 1989, Suica IC card service began on 8 February 2002, and the station was made fully unstaffed on 1 April 2016.

Notes

Haruki Murakami's novel 1Q84 has its protagonists alight at Futamatao Station, described in the text as "a small, old wooden station" with an unfamiliar name.
