The station opened on 1 April 1927. This is a station of the Odakyu Odawara Line operated by Odakyu Electric Railway Co., Ltd., located 10.6 km (6.6 mi) west of Shinjuku in Setagaya Ward of Tokyo City. The station is surrounded by a residential neighborhood and is well known for the "Ultraman Shopping Street" that extends north from the station. The head office of Tsuburaya Productions - the studio that produces Ultraman - was located nearby the station, and the street was named in 2006 from the connection.
