Stations

Prior to December 2004, the Keiō and Tama Toshi Monorail station buildings were not directly connected. Since then, both stations and the Keiō Takahata Shopping Center were connected. In June 2006 elevation of the Keiō station building and platforms was completed, and nine months later redevelopment work on the Keiō Takahata Shopping Center was finished.

Most of the passengers boarding at Takahatafudō are commuters and students bound for central Tokyo, while those disembarking are visiting the Kongōji Temple or are students transferring to the monorail or buses.

Surrounding area

The namesake of the station is Kongōji Temple, also known as Takahatafudō, one of the great temples of the Kantō region. The area's development was guided first by worshippers visiting the temple, then by suburbanization during the 1960s and 1970s. The station is a major transportation hub for Hino, with many municipal facilities and shopping centers in the vicinity.
