History
Mitsukyō Station opened on 12 May 1926 as a stop on the Jinchū Railway, the predecessor of the Sōtetsu Main Line. The present station building, integrated with the north-side commercial building Sōtetsu Life Mitsukyō, was completed in October 1986. A station-square refurbishment finished in March 2011 introduced an elevated pedestrian deck connected to the building at second-floor level. Platform doors were activated on 20 November 2022, and the staffed commuter-pass office closed on 5 November 2024. The station name traces to the meeting point of three Meiji-era villages — Futamatagawa, Toōka and Nakagawa — and the Yokohama-end of the platforms straddles the historic border between Musashi and Sagami provinces.
