History edit

The station opened on 11 March 1923.[1] It was developed as an anchor of the Senzoku Garden City, which was itself named after the nearby Senzoku Pond (the namesake of Senzoku-ike Station on the Ikegami Line, about 1 km away).

Although the tracks were originally at street level, they were moved underground in 1967 in order to avoid a level crossing of Kannana-dori, a major prefectural highway located to the west of the station. The next station inbound, Nishi-koyama, was moved underground in 2006, and the northeast side of Senzoku was reconfigured with a new footbridge with elevators to allow traffic to cross.
