History
Yukigaya-Ōtsuka Station opened on 4 May 1923 as Yukigaya Station on the Ikegami Electric Railway, originally sited near what is now Ishikawadai Crossing No. 1. With the opening of the Shin-Okusawa Line on 5 October 1928 the station was relocated roughly 150 metres towards Kamata, and on 1 June 1933 it was merged with the nearby Chōfu-Ōtsuka Station (opened 19 August 1927) and moved to the present site. The Shin-Okusawa Line was abolished on 1 November 1935. The station was renamed Yukigaya-Ōtsuka in December 1943 and given its present spelling on 20 January 1966. A station building was completed on 26 September 1989, and elevators and escalators were progressively added through the 2000s and 2010s. The Yukigaya rolling-stock depot for the Ikegami and Tōkyū Tamagawa Lines adjoins the station.
