History

In 1980 the station moved from hard paper tickets to soft tickets from automatic machines. A display for departures was installed on the platforms and in the ticket hall on 17 March 1980. A north exit opened on 11 October 1980, and a shopping area called American Boulevard opened under the elevated tracks on 21 November 1980.

The PRC system was introduced in April 1982. In April 1988 all ticket machines were updated to take Leo Card, and automatic gates were fitted in 1991. Some ticket machines were replaced in 1996. Ticket machines on both sides were replaced with magnetic-ticket models on 1 September 1998, and a commuter pass machine was added. The gates were updated ahead of the Pasnet card in 1999.

The departure display was changed to LED in 2002. A map-type discount ticket machine was introduced on 10 February 2002. Leo Card machines were updated in 2003. The map-type machines became touch-panel machines in 2004. Leo Card sales machines were removed in 2007 when PASMO was introduced, and some gates on the east side became PASMO-only.

An AED was introduced on 1 February 2007. The north ticket office was rebuilt in 2008, and commuter pass machines were updated. From 15 March 2008 JR East, Keio and Odakyu commuter passes were accepted through to this station. A special commuter pass called Onedaburu went on sale on 14 March 2009. The ticket machines on both sides became touch-panel models on 1 September 2009.

From 16 March 2013 this station became a connecting point for free tickets to the Tokyu Toyoko Line, Minatomirai Line and Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line via Shinjuku-sanchome. The platform doors for platform two came into use on 11 March 2020.
