History
The line was opened in 1894 as part of the Kawagoe Railway connecting Kokubunji and Hankavagoe stations . At that time, the only intermediate station on the track from Higashi-Murayama Station to Kokubunji Station was Ogawa Station. In 1927, this site was connected to the Shinjuku line at Higashi-Murayama Station. In 1948, the line was electrified. Two additional stations were later opened: Takanodai in 1948 and Koigakubo in 1955. Hanesawa Ride was built in 1968. Since July 2008, all announcements in wagons have been made in two languages: Japanese and English.
