History

Kagetsu-sōjiji Station opened on April 12, 1914. The station was rebuilt as an elevated station in December 1971.

The station was originally named for the adjacent Kagetsuen Amusement Park, which was in operation from 1914 until 1946. The amusement park property was later used for the Kagetsuen Keirin Stadium, which closed down in March 2010.

Kagetsu-sōjiji was renamed from Kagetsuen-mae (花月園前駅, Kagetsuen-mae-eki) on 14 March 2020. The name reflects the redevelopment of Kagetsuen following the closure of the Keirin track, as well as the nearby Sōji-ji Buddhist temple,a famous buddhist temple.[1]
