History
Sawai Station opened on 1 September 1929 along the Ōme Electric Railway in present-day Ōme, Tokyo. The private operator was nationalised in April 1944 under the wartime private-railway buyout, and the station became part of the Ministry of Transport and Communications' Ōme Line. Following the breakup of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station passed to East Japan Railway Company. The station has been unstaffed since 1971. Suica IC card service began on 8 February 2002. Train-crossing facilities were removed on 30 November 2019 and the layout reduced to a single bidirectional track.
Notes
The pedestrian footbridge above the platform is topped with a pavilion-style roof crowned by a small Buddhist-pagoda spire.
