History

Kuhombutsu Station opened on 1 November 1929 on the Ōimachi Line in southeast Tokyo. Its name comes from the nearby Kuhonbutsu Jōshin-ji temple; before this stop existed, the present Jiyūgaoka Station on the Tōyoko Line briefly carried the Kuhombutsu name from August 1927, then handed it over when the Ōimachi-Line station opened. A wooden-and-mortar building replaced the original structure in 1960. The single island platform is one car-length shorter than current Ōimachi-Line trains, so the doors on the westernmost car cannot open; this has been a fact of service since 5-car operation began in April 1976. Platform-edge doors covering only the four valid cars entered service on 30 September 2018.

Notes

Since Togoshi-Kōen Station's door cuts were eliminated on 24 February 2013, Kuhombutsu has been the only Tokyu station that still has to keep doors closed on part of every passing train.
