When this station opened in 1926, it was called Kitazawa Shako-mae Station, because Keio had moved its train depot from Sasazuka here. In 1937 it was renamed Sakurajosui, after the row of cherry trees along the embankment of the Tamagawa Josui north of the station; however, the Tamagawa Josui actually flows through Shimo-takaido in Suginami City, and does not pass through Sakurajosui.
The station name came before the place name: it wasn't until 1967, when the residential address system was implemented, that Sakurajosui was split off from Kami-kitazawa to become its own town name. The Keio factory and inspection yard that originally stood north of the station moved to Wakabadai in 1983; part of the former site still has train cars parked there today.
About 7.2 kilometers of the Keio Line between Sasazuka and Sengawa are being elevated; the project runs through fiscal year 2030, at a cost of 170.1 billion yen. Sakurajosui Station is planned to become an elevated station with two island platforms and 4 tracks; land acquisition around the station is already underway.

Maps show the shops and the sights. What a street is like, you only know by walking it. TidyMap uses AI street imagery analysis and public facility data to turn each area's street environment and everyday convenience into something you can compare. Search an address and look at the street outside first.

TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
