History
The station opened on 1 April 1907 as Tamagawa Station on the Tamagawa Electric Railway. A Kinu branch opened on 1 March 1924, and a Mizonokuchi line from Tamagawa station opened on 15 July 1927. On 1 November 1929 the Meguro-Kamata Electric Railway opened its Futako-tamagawa station here.
The station was renamed Yomiuri-en on 10 March 1939, and on 1 December 1940 the two stations were combined as Futako Yomiuri-en. On 1 July 1943 the line was re-gauged and linked to the Oimachi direction. The name went back to Futako-tamagawa on 20 October 1944, and became Futako-tamagawa-en on 1 August 1954. The Oimachi Line was renamed the Den-en-toshi Line on 11 October 1963.
The Den-en-toshi Line was raised to elevated tracks in March 1966, with a railway-only Futako bridge. The Den-en-toshi Line was extended from Mizonokuchi to Nagatsuda on 1 April 1966. The Tamagawa and Kinu lines were abolished on 11 May 1969. Automatic ticket gates came into use on 1 June 1974. The Shin-Tamagawa Line opened on 7 April 1977. Through services with the Hanzomon Line began on 1 August 1978, and the Oimachi Line was split off on 12 August 1979.
The Futako-tamagawa-en amusement park closed on 31 March 1985, but the station kept its name. The platforms were rebuilt from 1993. The station was renamed Futako-tamagawa on 6 August 2000, when the Den-en-toshi and Shin-Tamagawa lines were given one name. The station renovation was completed in September 2000.
