History
Ekoda Station opened on 1 November 1922 as the "Musashi High School provisional halt" on the Musashino Railway, set up because Kaichiro Nezu — founder of the school next door — was also a shareholder in the line; trains stopped only at morning and evening commute times. Regular service began in 1923 under the name Ekoda. Operation passed to Seibu Railway in 1946, an underground passage opened in 1999 to relieve a notorious level crossing, and a major rebuild giving the stop a bridge-over station building was completed by 2011. Station numbering in fiscal 2012 assigned the stop SI04 on the Ikebukuro Line.

Notes
Three nearby campuses — Musashi University, Nihon University College of Art, and Musashino Academia Musicae — all contributed design ideas that ended up incorporated into the rebuilt 2010 station.
