History
Tachikawa-Minami Station opened on 10 January 2000 as part of the inaugural Tachikawa-kita–Tama-Center segment of the Tama Toshi Monorail Line, an elevated monorail crossing the Tama region of western Tokyo. Built directly above Tokyo Metropolitan Route 149 on the south side of JR Tachikawa Station, the standardised raised station has two side platforms and a building beneath the tracks, linked to its JR counterpart by an elevated pedestrian deck. Station numbering was adopted across the line in February 2018, assigning the stop the designation TT11. Together with neighbouring Tachikawa-Kita, the station functions as a southern feeder for the JR Tachikawa interchange.

Notes
Tachikawa-Minami sits roughly 400 metres from Tachikawa-Kita, and the monorail treats the pair as a single fare-calculation point even though they are separate stations.
