Location

History

Musashi-Masuko opened on 21 April 1925 as Masuko Station on the Itsukaichi Railway, between Haijima and Musashi-Itsukaichi, before being renamed Musashi-Masuko less than a month later, on 16 May 1925. The line was folded into the Nanbu Railway in 1940 and nationalised on 1 April 1944 as a wartime acquisition, becoming part of the Itsukaichi Line operated by what later became Japanese National Railways. The station passed to JR East at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. Suica acceptance began on 18 November 2001, and a replacement station building entered service on 28 March 2011, after rebuilding work that began in November 2010.

Notes

To save on staffing, the ticket gate is operated by an attendant who rotates between Musashi-Masuko and Musashi-Hikida, the next stop towards Haijima, leaving both stations periodically unattended through the working day.
