History
Wakabadai Station opened on 18 October 1974 on the Keiō Sagamihara Line, located in Asao-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, on the prefectural border with Tokyo. The station was built alongside the Wakabadai depot and has two island platforms serving four tracks. Among Sagamihara Line stations with passing tracks, it is the only one not served by limited express and express trains. In 1999 it was named one of the 100 most distinguished Kantō stations for its modern design integrating environmental management. In February 2001 the platform canopies were fitted with a solar-power system developed jointly with NEDO, delivering up to 60 kW back to the station's electrical equipment.

Notes
The station sits on the Kanagawa side of the Tokyo–Kanagawa boundary, even though the name "Wakabadai" is the place-name applied to the Inagi-side residential area north of the station.
