Kami-kitazawa

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Kami-Kitazawa Station opened on 15 April 1913 as a stop on the Keiō Electric Tramway, taking its name from the Kami-Kitazawa district, a name descended from the pre-modern village of Kami-Kitazawa and set against Shimo-Kitazawa downstream. It was renamed Kitazawa Station in 1917, and reverted to Kami-Kitazawa on 10 December 1932, after the district around the Odawara Express Railway's Shimo-Kitazawa Station (opened 1927) was itself renamed from Shimo-Kitazawa to Kitazawa and the resulting duplication had to be resolved. Wartime mergers folded the line into Tokyu in May 1944, and the present Keio Corporation emerged with the post-war split on 1 June 1948. An underground station building was completed in February 1993, replacing the old station building and its in-station level crossing; ten-car platforms were finished in March 1994, and continuous grade-separation works began on 28 February 2014.

Kami-Kitazawa lies only 600 metres east of Hachimanyama Station, close enough that passengers waiting on the Kami-Kitazawa platform can see the elevated Hachimanyama platform.
