Yamada (Tokyo)

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

Yamada Station traces to 20 March 1931, when it opened as a stop on the Keio Goryō Line. The line was absorbed into Tokyo Express Railway ("Dai-Tokyu") in 1944, suspended a year later as a wartime non-essential line, then passed in 1948 to the independent Keio Teito Electric Railway. The section through the station was abolished in 1964, and the site reopened on 1 October 1967 as station KO49 on the Keio Takao Line. Ground-level side platforms flank tracks that run through a cutting; the station building is elevated, overtrack-style, linked to the platforms by an elevator, with a footbridge joining them. Limited-express trains have stopped here since 2022, succeeding a 2013 semi-limited-express stop; ordinary express trains still bypass it.

Although officially read "Yamada," the station takes its name from the old Rinzai Buddhist temple Kōonji nearby (formally "Yamada no Kōonji") — whose own name, like that of the surrounding neighborhood, is actually pronounced "Yamata."
