Location

History

Takaosanguchi Station opened on 1 October 1967 as the terminus of the new Keiō Takao Line. It is the westernmost station on the Keiō network and the westernmost station of any major private railway within Tōkyō. PASMO acceptance began on 18 March 2007. A reconstructed station building designed by the architect Kengo Kuma was completed on 24 April 2015, drawing extensively on cedar timber in homage to the cedar avenue of Mount Takao, a Tōkyō-designated natural monument, while the station plaza was expanded to roughly 2,100 square metres, about double its earlier size. The new building received the Good Design Award on 29 September 2016. From the 12 March 2022 timetable revision the station became the year-round terminus of the Mt. TAKAO service.

Notes

In October 2015, the same month the new station building was completed, the hot-spring facility Keio Takaosan Onsen / Gokurakuyu opened adjacent to the ticket gates on the 27th, creating an unusual terminal layout in which hikers can stop at a hot spring on their way back from the mountain.
