Location

History

Nishi-Hachiōji Station opened on 1 April 1939 as a passenger-only stop on the Chūō Main Line operated by the Ministry of Railways. The original building was destroyed in the Hachiōji air raid on 2 August 1945, and the station was rebuilt as an overpass station building in March 1978. Operation passed to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. Automatic ticket gates arrived in August 1993, Suica acceptance began in November 2001, the Midori no Madoguchi ticket office closed at the end of May 2018, and day-to-day operation was delegated to a JR East subsidiary from 1 July that year.

Notes

Until the December 2017 rebranding to CELEO Nishi-Hachiōji, the station's adjacent retail block had operated for twenty years under the LONLON name.
