History

Higashimonzen Station opened on August 15, 1925 as a station on the Kaigan Electric Transport. The station was closed on December 1, 1937, but reopened as a station on June 1, 1944 under the Tokyu Corporation. Keihin Electric Express Railway took over the station from June 1, 1948 after it was spun off from Tokyu.[2]

It is planned to move the station underground to reduce the number of level crossings on the line, with construction completing around 2023.[3]

Layout

Higashimonzen Station has two opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing.
