History

Fujimidai Station opened on 15 March 1925 on the Musashino Railway, today's Seibu Ikebukuro Line, under the original name Nukui. It was renamed Fujimidai on 1 March 1933. In the early 1960s the layout was changed from a single island platform serving two tracks to two side platforms serving two tracks. The section between Nakamurabashi and Fujimidai was elevated through 1997, with up-track and down-track viaducts opening on 13 September and 13 December respectively. On 4 March 2001 the line between Nakamurabashi and Nerima-Takanodai was fully quad-tracked on viaduct, and the station reverted to a single island platform serving the two local tracks, with the express tracks now running outside on either flank. The Emio Fujimidai retail concourse inside the station opened on 1 December 2015.

Notes

On clear winter days Mount Fuji is visible from the platform — the literal meaning of "Fujimidai" being "Fuji-view hill."
