Yasaka (Tokyo)

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

Yasaka Station opened on 1 October 1942 — in the midst of the Pacific War — on the Seibu Tamako Line in Higashimurayama, Tokyo. Construction of the Army Boy Signal Corps School and an Army ordnance supply branch along the line had prompted military authorities to require a stop here; other lines toward the Murayama and Yamaguchi reservoirs were afterwards suspended one after another, but the Tamako Line kept running. The platform was lengthened to take eight-car trains in 1996, and the 2000 station rebuild — synchronised with a four-laning widening of Tokyo Metropolitan Route 17 (Fuchū Kaidō) — placed the new building and platform on the opposite side of the single track from the original.

When Yasaka was rebuilt around 2000, the new station building and platform were put up across the single track from the original, so the station now stands on the opposite side of the line from where it began.
