Ome-kaido

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

Ōmekaidō Station opened on 6 April 1928 on the Seibu Railway Tamako Line in Ogawachō, Kodaira, Tokyo. The original spelling registered the name as Awome-kaidō rather than the modern Ōme-kaidō. The station is named for the Shinjuku–Ōme Highway (Tokyo Metropolitan Road 5) that crosses the line on the surface immediately outside the entrance. For decades it ran as a single side-platform halt with one track; a refurbished station building was completed and brought into service on 28 February 1995. Although the station had been unstaffed in early-morning and late-evening hours during one period, full-day staffing has since been restored — the roller shutter still fitted to the wall just outside the ticket gate remains as evidence of the earlier unstaffed slots.

The Ōme Highway broadens to two lanes each way for a short stretch on either side of the station — a relic of the post station that once stood nearby — and the irrigation channel Ogawa-yōsui still runs directly beneath the station.
