Chōfu Station (調布駅, Chōfu-eki) is a junction passenger railway station located in the city of Chōfu, Tokyo, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Keio Corporation.

Lines

Chōfu Station is served by the Keio Line and Keiō Sagamihara Line as the junction of the two lines. It is located 15.5 kilometers (9.6 mi) from the starting point of the Keio Line at Shinjuku Station and is a terminus of the 22.6-kilometer (14.0 mi) Sagamihara Line.

Station layout

The station has two underground island platforms: one in the second basement (Platforms 1 and 2) and one in the third basement (Platforms 3 and 4). Ticket windows and gates are in the first basement.

History

The station opened on April 15, 1913 when Keiō Electric Railway opened its first section between Sasazuka and Chōfu as an Interurban.

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 separating the railway lines around the station area. Underground tracks opened on August 19, 2012.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 130,065 passengers daily.

The passenger figures (boarding passengers only) for previous years are as shown below.
