Higashi-Ome

No publicly available departure data for this station.

Higashi-Ōme Station opened on 1 October 1932 as a stop on the privately built Ōme Electric Railway, with passenger traffic only. When the operator was designated for wartime nationalisation on 1 April 1944, the station passed to the Ministry of Transport and was redesignated a station of the Ōme Line, with parcel handling added. A new overhead station building was completed on 5 March 1964, and the platforms were lengthened in 1982 to accept 10-car trains. The station became part of JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987. On 14 May 2023 the platform was rebuilt into a single bidirectional track to accommodate 12-car Green Car services on the Chūō and Ōme Lines.

Although the city office and most major civic facilities of Ōme sit closest to this stop, it has long been overshadowed by Ōme Station one stop west; locals call Higashi-Ōme "the real face of Ōme city."
