Kokuryō Station, Railway station in Chofu, Japan
Kokuryō Station is an underground railway stop on the Keio Line with an island platform and two tracks running beneath the city. The facility connects through an above-ground building that serves as the main point of entry for passengers.
The station opened in 1913 and was originally built at ground level on the Keio Line. A major reconstruction between 2011 and 2012 relocated all tracks and platforms underground to modernize operations.
The station connects the community to nearby educational institutions that shape daily life in the area. It serves as a transit point for students and workers who travel to these locations regularly.
The station has direct access routes from the surface building down to the underground platforms, making boarding and exiting straightforward. Ticketing machines and information desks are located at the entrance points.
The station building was deliberately positioned directly above the underground platforms to create a vertical flow of passenger traffic. This unusual design allows travelers to complete their entire journey within a single vertically organized complex.
