Location

History

Tamagawa-Jōsui Station opened on 15 May 1950 as the terminus of the Seibu Railway's Jōsui Line, which Seibu had created by acquiring a former Hitachi Aircraft Tachikawa-plant siding from Nikko Industries in 1949. The line was renamed the Haijima Line and extended west to Haijima on 15 May 1968, turning Tamagawa-Jōsui into a through stop. On 10 December 1989 the layout was rebuilt as a two-island, three-track station, and the Tama Toshi Monorail platforms opened on 27 November 1998. Concurrent works moved the Seibu platforms, elevated the concourse, opened a new walkway, and removed the previous level crossing. An enclosed waiting room was added on the Haijima Line side in November 2007.

Notes

The previous station building still stands south of the present one — an unusual survival on the Seibu network. Put up in 1989 when the station was rebuilt with two island platforms and three tracks, it was left in place when the Seibu platforms were moved and an overhead station building was erected for the 1998 opening of the monorail. Its old ticket-machine area is closed off behind a shutter, and the site of the former ticket gate beside it is now a bicycle parking lot.
