History
Tachikawa-Kita Station opened on 27 November 1998 as the southern terminus of the Tama Toshi Monorail Line when the first stage from Kamikitadai entered service in Akebono-chō, Tachikawa, just north of the JR Tachikawa Station block. On 10 January 2000 the southward extension to Tama-Center turned it into a through stop. The two opposed side platforms sit on an elevated viaduct, with the station building tucked beneath; the JR-side gate connects directly to the third floor of the Isetan Tachikawa department store, and a pedestrian deck links the station to JR Tachikawa and Tachikawa-Minami. A Seven-Eleven convenience kiosk opened inside the paid concourse on 14 October 2009.
