History
Fujimigaoka Station opened on 1 August 1933 on the Teito Electric Railway. On 1 May 1940 it became part of Odawara Express Railway's Teito Line under a merger, and on 1 May 1942 it was absorbed along with the rest of Odakyū into the wartime Tokyo Express Electric Railway. With Keiō Teito Electric Railway split off again from Tōkyū on 1 June 1948, the station became part of today's Keiō Inokashira Line. Work on a bridge-style station building began in March 2010 and the new structure entered service on 26 December 2010, with lifts and escalators between the concourse and both the platform and the north exit (the south-exit side has a lift but no escalator); the old underground passage was retained as a public north-south pedestrian corridor. The Keiō Fujimigaoka inspection depot adjoins the station to the west, so a substantial number of early-morning Shibuya-bound services begin here. Platform-edge doors entered service on 22 February 2026.

Notes
Although Fujimigaoka is served only by local trains, its adjacent depot makes it an operational hub, and seat-hunting commuters queue at dawn for the many morning trains that begin their runs here.
