Chōfu Station (調布駅) is an underground station in Chōfu, Tokyo. Keio runs it. It opened on 15 April 1913 as a station of the Keio Electric Railway (京王電気軌道).
History
The Keio Electric Railway opened Chōfu Station on 15 April 1913. On 1 June 1916 a branch line opened from here to Tamagawara Station, now Keio Tamagawa Station. The branch was later extended as the Sagamihara Line. In 1929 an underground passage was built near the former Chōfu elementary school, so that schoolchildren could cross between the north and south sides. On 31 May 1944 the company merged into Tokyo Kyuko Electric Railway, and the station became a station on the Keio Line. On 1 June 1948 Keio Teito Electric Railway separated from Tokyu, and the station became its station. On 10 December 1953 the station moved to its present site.
On 1 April 1971 the Sagamihara Line opened as far as Keio Yomiuriland Station. On 20 October 1981 the east exit opened. On 27 March 2001 a timetable revision added semi-express trains, and they stopped here. On 14 September 2008 a temporary elevated station building came into use. On 16 November 2008 the east exit was open all day.
On 19 August 2012, as part of a project to raise and lower the tracks, the station was switched to an underground station. The approach melody was changed to a song by the group Ikimono-gakari. Platform doors started to be used on 1 September 2012. On 29 September 2017 the station building Torie Keio Chōfu opened. On 19 August 2021 a sub-station name was set up: Nearest Station to the University of Electro-Communications. In March 2026 the plan for the station square was completed.
