Tachikawa Station (ç«‹å·é§… Tachikawa-eki?) is an important railway station in the city of Tachikawa, Tokyo, Japan. The JR ChÅ«Å Line passes through Tachikawa Station. The ÅŒme Line and Nambu Line terminate here. Although the Itsukaichi Line does not reach Tachikawa, most trains on that line continue along the Ome Line tracks to serve this station.

Tachikawa Minami Station and Tachikawa Kita Station on the Tama Toshi Monorail Line flank Tachikawa Station, and are connected to it by decks.

The Lumine department store occupies the upper floors of the station building.

History

The KÅbu Railway, which later became the ChÅ«Å Main Line, opened the station on April 11, 1889. The ÅŒme Railway (presently the ÅŒme Line) and the Nambu Railway (presently the Nambu Line) were connected to the station on November 19, 1894 and December 11, 1929 respectively.[2]

The Itsukaichi Line was also connected to the station from July 13, 1930 to October 11, 1944 via a separate track between Tachikawa and Haijima, which was closed following the integration of the operation of the ÅŒme and Itsukaichi lines under the Japanese Government Railways in April 1944.[3]
