History
Sendagaya Station (JB 12) is a JR East Chūō-Sōbu Line station in Sendagaya 1-chōme, Shibuya, Tokyo — the eastern-most rail station in Shibuya Ward. It opened on 21 August 1904 as a Kōbu Railway station when the Iidamachi – Nakano section was electrified, then nationalised on 1 October 1906. The 1945 firebombing destroyed the station building; a wooden barracks replaced it in December that year. Subsequent rebuildings tied to the 1958 Asian Games, 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and 2020 Tokyo Olympics — for the last of which a temporary station building was opened on 18 September 2016 and the current building entered service on 27 October 2019. A temporary platform built in 1964 was reactivated in 2020 as the dedicated westbound platform.
Notes
Sendagaya stands next to the National Stadium — it was rebuilt for the 1958 Asian Games — and on 23 October 1986 a crowd of 5,000 spectators leaving an athletics meeting at the stadium surged into the station's ticket gates, injuring 46 people. A monument in the form of a shōgi king piece, donated by the Japan Shogi Federation in December 1980 because the federation is headquartered nearby, once stood on the platform; since August 2020 it has been displayed in a shogi corner in the station concourse, together with a calligraphic rendering of the station name by the master player Yoshiharu Habu.
