Location
History
Odakyū Tama-Center Station opened on 23 April 1975 as the Odakyū Tama Line's extension reached the planned commercial centre of Tama New Town. The station, numbered OT 06, originally functioned as the line's terminus; although laid out as a two-island, four-track structure, the sub-main tracks were not installed at first and the station operated with two platforms and two tracks from opening. The sub-main tracks were brought into use on 10 March 1985 and taken out of use around May 2006, leaving the two side platforms and two tracks in service today. The further extension to Karakida arrived in 1990. Renovations ran from May 2005 to March 2006, adding an east exit, escalators and elevators. Through services to and from the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line returned on 15 March 2025 after a hiatus.
Notes
When the line opened, Keio and Odakyu deliberately prefixed their station names with the company name to prevent passengers from mistakenly boarding the wrong Shinjuku-bound line at this same physical location.
