Sakurajosui

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

Sakurajōsui Station opened on 28 April 1926 as Kitazawa-Shakomae Station, the depot stop opened when the Keiō Electric Tramway moved its electric car depot from Sasazuka to the present site. The stop was renamed Keiō-Shakomae on 11 August 1933 and Sakurajōsui on 1 May 1937, the latter name referring to the cherry trees lining the Tamagawa Aqueduct just north of the station. Wartime mergers placed it under Tokyu in May 1944, and the post-war split on 1 June 1948 produced today's operator, Keio Corporation. The Sakurajōsui depot was relocated to Wakabadai in 1983 although a sub-depot remains, a southern entrance opened in March 1965, and an overhead station building entered provisional service on 22 June 2008.

The Sakurajōsui name was coined by the operator before there was a Sakurajōsui neighbourhood — addresses later carved out the Sakurajōsui 1- to 5-chōme blocks around the station from the earlier Kami-Kitazawa numbering.
