Area layout
editThere are essentially two complexes that make up Musashi-Kosugi Station, with a 400-meter connector passageway between them. The western complex contains a Nambu Line JR East station and a Tokyu station in one building. The eastern station is part of the Tokaido Line and contains JR East Yokosuka Line as well as Shinkansen tracks, though the Shinkansen tracks have no stop. Although it is common to name stations after their operator, the termJR East Musashi-Kosugi Stationis therefore non-specific as JR East services both complexes.
Lines

History
editThis sectionneeds additional citations forverification.(September 2014) |
The area around the station was served by the Nambu and Toyoko lines since the 1920s, but over an extended period of time it was integrated as 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 the 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 theYokosuka LineandShōnan-Shinjuku Lineconnected the station with many directions in Kantō region, includingNarita Airport.
Musashi-Kosugi Station opened as Ground-mae Stop(グラウンド tiền đình lưu tràng,Guraundomae-Teiryūjō)and as Musashi-Kosugi Stop(Võ tàng tiểu sam đình lưu tràng,Musashi-Kosugi-Teiryūjō)on the Nambu Railway on 1 November 1927. The nearby Kōgyōtoshi Station(Công nghiệp đô thị dịch,Kōgyōtoshi-eki)on the Toyoko Line opened on 11 December 1939. The Nambu Railway wasnationalizedon 1 April 1944, becoming part of into theJapanese Government Railway(JGR) system. Ground-mae Stop became Musashi-Kosugi Station, and the former Musashi-Kosugi Stop was abolished. After the end ofWorld War II,JGR became theJapanese National Railways(JNR). On 16 June 1945, Musashi-Kosugi Station on the Toyoko Line opened, and on 31 March 1953, Kōgyōtoshi Station was abolished.
On 27 November 1988, grade separation work removed the level crossings on Tachikawa-bound tracks, and by 27 December 1988, grade separation work removed the level crossings on Kawasaki-bound tracks. Along withprivatizationand division of JNR,JR Eaststarted operating the former JNR portion of the station on 1 April 1987. On 6 August 2000, the Tokyu Meguro Line opened; the line was extended to connect to the Tokyu Meguro Line on 22 June 2008. The station was further expanded on 13 March 2010, when Yokosuka Line and Shōnan-Shinjuku Line trains began stopping.
Station numbering was introduced on all Tokyu Railway lines during fiscal 2012, with Musashi-Kosugi Station becoming "TY11" for the Toyoko Line and "MG11" for the Meguro Line.[1]
Platform screen doorson the Nambu Line platforms were installed on 2 February 2022 and began operation on 13 March 2022.[2]
On 18 December 2022, platform 3 on the Yokosuka Line was transitioned to a new side platform.[3]Construction of the platform had been in progress since 2020.[4]Under the updated configuration, the platform number assignments remain as-is.
Passenger statistics
editIn the 2015 data available from Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Musashi Kosugi → Nishi-Ōi was one of the train segments among Tokyo's most crowded train lines during rush hour.[5]
In fiscal 2019, the JR station was used by an average of 129,194 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[6]Passenger usage for the JR East station has almost doubled since fiscal 1999, when the station was the 61st-busiest JR East station with an average of 64,165 passengers daily.[7]
In fiscal 2019, the Tokyu Toyoko Line station was used by an average of 173,414 total passengers daily and the Meguro Line station was used by an average of 49,842 total passengers daily.[8]
The daily passenger figures (boarding passengers only) for each operator in previous years are as shown below.
| Fiscal year | JR East | Tokyu | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2005 | 70,685 | 92,120 | [9] |
| 2010 | 99,617 | 95,668 | [10] |
| 2015 | 124,325 | 108,191 | [11] |
Surrounding area
editThe area had until the late 2000s been a rather nondescript 'endless' suburbia, broken up only by theTama River.At that time, the locals called the areaMusako.However, with skyscraper construction giving the area an urban feel and outsider influx, the new local nicknameKosugihas emerged.[12]The termMusashirefers toNambu Line,the first train line through the area, which the line name itself is a reference to formerMusashi Province,the southern rim which the line runs along. According to surveys, the district is considered among the more desirable in the Tokyo area, but its popularity waned somewhat after the area suffered flooding due toTyphoon Hagibisin October 2019.[13]
