History

Tachikawa-Kita Station opened on 27 November 1998 as the southern terminus of the Tama Toshi Monorail Line when the first stage from Kamikitadai entered service in Akebono-chō, Tachikawa, just north of the JR Tachikawa Station block. On 10 January 2000 the southward extension to Tama-Center turned it into a through stop. The two opposed side platforms sit on an elevated viaduct, with the station building tucked beneath; the JR-side gate connects directly to the third floor of the Isetan Tachikawa department store, and a pedestrian deck links the station to JR Tachikawa and Tachikawa-Minami. A Seven-Eleven convenience kiosk opened inside the paid concourse on 14 October 2009.

Notes

Tachikawa-Kita and Tachikawa-Minami sit just 400 m apart on opposite sides of JR Tachikawa Station and are treated as a single station for fare-calculation purposes; trips between the two are charged a discounted 102-yen IC fare (110 yen on paper tickets).
