History
Eifukuchō Station opened on 1 August 1933 as a stop on the Teito Electric Railway, the predecessor of today's Keio Inokashira Line. Wartime consolidation pushed the line through Odakyū and then the conglomerate Greater Tokyu, and on 1 June 1948 the rebranded Keio Teito Electric Railway took ownership. A depot relocation in April 1970 freed land for a 1971 platform expansion that introduced four tracks and limited-stop Express service, giving Eifukuchō the only passing loop on the Inokashira Line. A new elevated station building opened on 21 March 2010, and the Keio Retnade shopping centre followed on 23 March 2011. Platform-edge doors were activated in stages through 2024–2025.
