History
Kōshū-Kaidō Station sits on the Tama Toshi Monorail Line in Hino city, Tokyo, about 100 m southeast of the intersection between Metropolitan Route 256 (the Kōshū Kaidō highway) and Metropolitan Route 503. It opened on 10 January 2000 when the monorail's Tachikawa-Kita to Tama-Center section entered service, and was assigned the station number TT09 when line-wide numbering was rolled out in February 2018. Riders are mostly commuters and students travelling out to Chūō Line and Keiō Line stations. The platform layout is a standard elevated two-side, two-track design with the station building beneath it, conforming to the monorail's shared station blueprint.

Notes
Although Kōshū-Kaidō is the nearest monorail stop to the Hino-juku honjin and Sato Hikogorō residence — both about 1 km away — visitors still find JR Hino on the Chūō Line a shorter walk.
