History

Heiwajima Station opened on 1 February 1901 as Sawada Station on the Keihin Electric Railway, and was later renamed Gakkō-ura. Passing tracks were added in February 1950 to create a two-platform, four-track layout, and the station was subsequently moved slightly northward. It was renamed Heiwajima on 1 September 1961, and on 30 October that year the wooden station building was replaced with a two-storey reinforced-concrete structure; the level crossing inside the gates was abolished, a pedestrian subway was opened, and effective platform length was extended from four cars to six. The up-side platform was elevated on 20 January 1970 and the down-side followed on 1 December 1970, leaving the station fully elevated. Platforms were lengthened to twelve cars on 4 October 1997, and the Airport Express (now Express) began calling from the 16 May 2010 timetable revision. Platform doors entered service in 2021.
