History
Higashi-matsubara Station, on the Keio Inokashira Line in Setagaya ward, Tokyo, opened on 1 August 1933 as a station of Teito Electric Railway. Through a succession of railway mergers — first into Odakyū in 1940, then into the wartime Tokyū conglomerate in 1942, and finally as part of Keiō Teito Electric Railway from 1948 — the line and station passed to today's Keio Corporation. Station numbering on Keio lines was introduced on 22 February 2013, assigning Higashi-matsubara the code IN07. On 1 August 1990 the Kichijōji-end station building was abolished and replaced by an integrated over-track structure. Platform-edge screen doors entered service on 25 October 2025.
