Tamako

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Tamako Station opened on 30 December 1936 in Higashimurayama as Murayama Chosuichi Station, terminus of the Tamako Railway 0.9 km north of an earlier provisional stop. Wartime sensitivity about advertising the nearby reservoir led to a renaming as Sayama Koen-mae on 1 April 1941, before further changes returned it to Tamako on 1 September 1951 and to Seibu-Yuenchi on 25 March 1979, reflecting its role as gateway to the adjacent Seibuen amusement park. The platforms moved 400 m north to their present site on 20 September 1961, an interchange with the rebuilt Yamaguchi Line guideway was added in April 1985, and the station took its current name on 13 March 2021 alongside the Seibuen redevelopment.

The station is one of the few in Japan where conventional trains and a small-profile new-transit guideway system share a single, step-free island platform.
