History
Tsutsujigaoka Station opened on 15 April 1913 as Kaneko, a stop on the Keio Electric Tramway along the Koshu Kaido in Chofu, Tokyo. The station was relocated to its present site on 17 December 1927. It passed through Tokyu (Daito-kyu) in 1944 and Keio Teito Electric Railway in 1948, and was renamed Tsutsujigaoka and rebuilt with two island platforms and four tracks on 15 May 1957. The station became an Express stop on 28 May 1992. A new overpass station building entered service on 13 March 2011 to deliver barrier-free access, and the Keio Litonade Tsutsujigaoka retail complex opened on the north side later that year. KO14 station numbering began on 22 February 2013.

Notes
The train-approach melody is the children's song Omoide-no-Album, composed by Tetsumaro Honda — the head priest of nearby Jorakuin temple, which lies just south of the station.
