History
Hatanodai Station's two halves opened separately in 1927: on 6 July the Meguro-Kamata Electric Railway opened Higashi-Senzoku Station, and the following month the Ikegami Electric Railway opened Hatagaoka Station, each on their own line. In March 1951 Higashi-Senzoku was renamed Hatanodai and rebuilt at its current location on the Ōimachi Line, and in May 1951 Hatagaoka was merged into the new station and shifted onto the Ikegami Line. The combined station now sits in Hatanodai, Shinagawa, Tokyo and is the only stop on the Ōimachi Line with two tracks in each direction, used to transfer between local and express trains.

Notes
In August 2019 the Ikegami Line platforms were given a wood-aesthetic facelift dubbed "Ki ni naru Renewal," intended to evoke the look of a traditional wooden station building.
