Location

History

Hamura Station opened on 19 November 1894 with the inaugural Tachikawa–Ōme section of the Ōme Railway, which subsequently became the Ōme Electric Railway. The company was nationalised on 1 April 1944 under the wartime private-railway acquisition order, placing the station on the Ministry of Transport and Communications' Ōme Line. Freight handling ceased in November 1961 and parcels in February 1971. A bridge-style station building replaced the previous structure on 1 June 1973, with the East Entrance steps reconfigured in 1984. JR East assumed operations at the JNR breakup on 1 April 1987. The new West Entrance building was completed on 3 November 2007. Platform work for twelve-car Chūō/Ōme through services was completed on 12 October 2024, and twelve-car operation began the next day.

Notes

During the annual Hana to Mizu no Matsuri tulip festival, certain Holiday Rapid Okutama express services that would normally pass through Hamura are scheduled to stop here for the duration of the event.
