History
Kiyose Station opened on 11 June 1924 on what is today the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, in the city of Kiyose in western Tokyo. It sits 19.6 kilometres from the Ikebukuro terminus, between Higashi-Kurume and Akitsu, and is laid out with two ground-level island platforms serving four tracks plus a turn-back siding to the west, which is regularly used by services that terminate and reverse at Kiyose. Station numbering across the Seibu network was introduced during fiscal 2012, with Kiyose assigned SI15. Through-running to Yokohama and Motomachi-Chūkagai via the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin, Tōkyū Tōyoko and Minatomirai lines commenced on 16 March 2013.

Notes
Despite serving a comparatively small western-Tokyo suburb, in fiscal 2019 Kiyose ranked as the 13th-busiest station on the entire Seibu Railway network with roughly 69,578 daily passengers, propelled by the cluster of medical and nursing colleges and the Tokyo National Hospital adjoining the station.
