History
Komae Station opened on 27 May 1927. Odakyu first planned to open only Tamagawa Station (now Izumi-Tamagawa Station). The village asked for a station near its centre, and Odakyu first refused. The village then bought the stop site and land with money raised locally and gave them to Odakyu, and the station was built on that basis. From 1 September 1937, express trains bound for Katase-Enoshima stopped here. Trains bound for Odawara passed through.
In September 1948 the Sakura semi-express was introduced, and it stopped here. In April 1951 the station became a stop for semi-express trains. On 5 November 1964 semi-express trains began to pass through the station.
In July 1989 work began to build four tracks between Kita-Komae and Izumi-Tamagawa. On 26 March 1995 the station was elevated, and the up line used a temporary platform. On 1 December 1996 the up platform moved to its permanent platform. On 27 April 1997 the current station building came into use. Four tracks came into use on 23 June 1997. On 28 May 1998 Odakyu Marché opened.
On 11 December 2004 a section semi-express service started and stopped here. On 1 September 2013 the approach melody was changed to the city song of Komae, 「水と緑のまち」. In January 2014 station numbering began. On 26 March 2016 the section semi-express was abolished, and only local trains stopped here. On 17 March 2018 the station became a semi-express stop again, and trains through from the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line began to stop here. On 11 March 2026 platform doors came into use.
