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

Takahatafudō Station is served by the Keio Line, and is located 29.7 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Shinjuku Station. It is also the terminus of the Keiō Dōbutsuen Line. The Tama Toshi Monorail Line also serves Takahatafudō Station.

The Keio station has two island platforms with four tracks for the Keio Line, and one side platform for the Keio Dōbutsuen Line. All trains stop at this station.


Takahatafudō Station is a raised station with two tracks and two opposed side platforms, with the station building located underneath. It is a standardized station building for this monorail line. Due to the concentration of university campuses towards Tama-Center, many students change trains at this station.

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.
