Location

History

Shibasaki Station opened on 15 April 1913 as part of Keiō Electric Tramway's original line, on a site just north of National Route 20 in present-day Chōfu. It was moved to its current location on 17 December 1927. The Keiō company was absorbed into the wartime Tokyo Express conglomerate on 31 May 1944, and Keiō Teito Electric Railway was split off from Tokyu in the post-war demerger of 1 June 1948; the station is operated today by Keio Corporation. Platforms were extended for ten-car trains in March 1994, and the KO15 station number was introduced in February 2013.

Notes

The station name comes from a former hillside called Shibayama next to its original 1913 site; although the platforms moved south across Route 20 in 1927, the old Shibasaki place-name still attaches to the neighbourhood around the previous location.
