Musashi-Kosugi Station (武蔵小杉駅, Musashi-Kosugi-eki^?) is a railway station located in Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

History

The area around the station was served by the Nambu and Tōyoko lines since 1920s, but it took long time to have this integrated Musashi-Kosugi Station in 1945. Since then, the station has functioned as a major transfer point for people residing in Kawasaki (along the Nambu Line) who commute to Tokyo.

Although the station was already a major station along the two lines in 1990s, the station started further expansion of its role when the Meguro Line opened in 2000 with direct service to the Tokyo subway lines. The 2010 opening of the new platform for the Yokosuka Line and Shōnan-Shinjuku Line connected the station with many directions in Kantō region, including Narita Airport.
