Nakagawara (Tokyo)

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

Nakagawara Station opened on 24 March 1925 as a stop on the Gyokunan Electric Railway in what is now Sumiyoshi-chō, Fuchū, Tōkyō. Following the 1 December 1926 merger it became a Keiō Electric Tramway (now Keiō Corporation) station, and the wartime amalgamation of 31 May 1944 placed it under Tōkyū (the Greater Tōkyū). When the Keiō Teito Electric Railway was spun off from Tōkyū on 1 June 1948 the station passed to that company. The tracks at the station were elevated on 30 July 1974. A north-exit redevelopment building was completed on 1 February 1995 and opened to the public the following day, the new station plaza followed in March, and a station-building renovation completed in December 2004 added an elevator and other accessibility upgrades.

The station name derives from an old local place name: the Tama River once flowed near the Fuchū Escarpment, and a settlement stood on the riverbank midway between it and the Asakawa River.
