Location

History

Yūtenji Station opened on 28 August 1927 as a stop on the Tōkyū Tōyoko Line, the suburban commuter route running between Shibuya and Yokohama. It sits roughly 3.2 km from the line's Shibuya terminus and has long been served only by all-stops local trains. From 2013 the operator narrowed both platforms so that a single center track could be inserted between the existing up and down lines, allowing non-stop trains to overtake locals; the new passing line entered service with the timetable revision of 25 March 2017. A station building beneath the elevated tracks at the Shibuya end opened to commercial tenants on 1 October 2018.

Notes

The passing track added in 2017 lies between Yūtenji's two side platforms, so trains overtaking the local services that stop here run through the middle of the station rather than around the outside of it.
