History
Sengawa Station opened on 15 April 1913 as Shimo-Sengawa on the Keio Electric Tramway, the predecessor of today's Keio Corporation, and was renamed Sengawa in 1917. The station passed through Tokyu (Daito-kyu) during the wartime consolidation of 1944 and back to Keio Teito Electric Railway in 1948. The up platform was added in October 1996, ahead of Sengawa becoming a Rapid stop in March 2001. Station number KO13 was introduced with the 22 February 2013 timetable revision, and Sectional-Express stops were added on 25 September 2015. A station-building refresh in August 2018 reopened the retail area, and in April 2018 the train-approach melody became Toy Soldier's March from the Kewpie 3-Minute Cooking television theme, in reference to the nearby Kewpie facility.
