History

Motosumiyoshi Station opened on 14 February 1926 as one of the original stations of Tokyu Corporation's Tōyoko Line in what is now Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture. In 1963 it was rebuilt with underground ticket gates and ground-level platforms, before being reconstructed again in 2006 as a fully elevated above-ground station. The station today serves both the Tōkyū Tōyoko Line, 12.1 km from the Shibuya terminus, and the Tōkyū Meguro Line, 10.4 km from Meguro, with two island platforms and six tracks; its proximity to a nearby depot means some early-morning and late-night services begin or end here. On 15 February 2014 two Tōyoko Line trains collided on the Yokohama-bound track during heavy snow, lightly injuring 19 passengers.

Notes

Because the station sits close to a train depot serving these lines, some early-morning and late-night trains on the Tōyoko and Meguro Lines come in and out of service here.
