History
Musashi-Masuko opened on 21 April 1925 as Masuko Station on the Itsukaichi Railway, between Haijima and Musashi-Itsukaichi, before being renamed Musashi-Masuko less than a month later, on 16 May 1925. The line was folded into the Nanbu Railway in 1940 and nationalised on 1 April 1944 as a wartime acquisition, becoming part of the Itsukaichi Line operated by what later became Japanese National Railways. The station passed to JR East at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. Suica acceptance began on 18 November 2001, and a replacement station building entered service on 28 March 2011 after a four-month rebuild that started in November 2010.

Notes
To save on staffing, the ticket gate is operated by an attendant who rotates between Musashi-Masuko and Musashi-Hikida, the next stop towards Haijima, leaving both stations periodically unattended through the working day.
