Kyodo Station (経堂駅) is an elevated station on the Odakyu Odawara Line in Setagaya, Tokyo. Odakyu Electric Railway runs it. It opened on 1 April 1927.
History
In 1927 the land around the station was an open field owned by the temple Fukushō-ji. Local residents donated money for the station building, and a farmhouse on the site was moved a short distance to make room. The station opened on 1 April 1927 with the Odakyu Odawara Line. An express service began stopping here on 15 October 1927.
The express stopped here until April 1934, when it began to pass through. Semi-express trains started stopping in October 1946, and a Sakura semi-express in September 1948. A rapid semi-express started on 5 November 1964. In March 1972 semi-express trains began stopping again, except for one weekday morning up train.
The design of the elevated station was chosen on 16 April 1998. The up line was raised on 1 November 1998, and the down line was raised on 11 June 2000 and run from a temporary platform. The platforms moved to permanent positions in 2002.
From 26 March 2016 more weekday express trains stopped here, and a Chiyoda Line through express began stopping during the day. In March 2018 a new commuter semi-express began stopping here, and all its trains run through to the Chiyoda Line. On 12 March 2022 all express trains began to stop.
Platform doors came into use on the down platforms (1 and 2) on 11 July 2026. The up platforms were planned to follow within the same fiscal year.
