History

Tama-plaza Station opened on 1 April 1966 on the Tōkyū Den-en-toshi Line in Aoba Ward, Yokohama. The name was conceived by then-Tokyu president Noboru Gotō and ratified by the executive board in September 1965; before that, the provisional name was Motoishikawa, after the surrounding chōme. "Plaza" comes from the Spanish for "public square," reflecting the goal of placing a community plaza at the heart of the Tama Garden City development. Barrier-free retrofits were completed in 2000, and a major redevelopment between 2006 and 2009 added a second "East Gate," a three-floor atrium concourse, and an integrated commercial complex (Tama-Plaza Terrace). Platform-edge doors entered service on 30 September 2018.

Notes

The 2009 station building won the Railway Architectural Association's top "Most Excellent Award," a first for any Tokyu Corporation station.
