History
Tobitakyū Station opened on 1 September 1916 as a Keio Electric Tramway stop in Chōfu, Tokyo. The line was absorbed by Tokyu (Daitōkyū) during the 1944 wartime consolidation, and Keio Teito Electric Railway split off again in 1948. Anticipating the 10 March 2001 opening of Tokyo Stadium (now Ajinomoto Stadium), Keio rebuilt the station into a three-track, two-platform layout on 5 March 2001 and inaugurated an overpass station building on 7 March 2001. The sub-name "Tokyo Stadium-mae" was set on 8 March 2001, and the station today carries the sub-name "Ajinomoto Stadium-mae"; ridership swells on match days. Tobitakyū became a Rapid stop with the 22 February 2013 timetable revision, and a September 2018 update set the train-approach melody to FC Tokyo supporter songs.
Notes
On FC Tokyo and Tokyo Verdy match days, additional Limited Express, Semi Express, and Express services make special stops at Tobitakyu, which would otherwise be skipped by these categories.
