Chōfu Station (調布駅 Chōfu-eki?) is a Keio Corporation station located in Chōfu, Tokyo, Japan.

This station is served by the Keiō Line and Keiō Sagamihara Line as the junction of the two lines.

This station has two underground island platforms in the second basement (Tracks 1 and 2) and the third basement (Tracks 3 and 4). Ticket windows and gates are in the first basement.[1]

History

The station opened on April 15, 1913 when Keiō Electric Tramway opened its first section between Sasazuka and Chōfu.[2]

Recent development

Until 2012, Chofu Station was on the ground level and had busy grade crossings at either end for road traffic, while trains arriving from the Keio Sagamihara Line blocked both lines of the Keio Line as they enter the station. Keio Corporation resolved both these issues by grade separation of railway lines around the station area. Underground tracks opened on August 19, 2012.[3]
