History
The JR East station first opened as Haramachida Station (原町田駅) on 23 September 1908.[2] The Odakyu station opened on 1 April 1927 as Shin-Haramachida Station (新原町田駅), which was renamed Machida Station on 11 April 1976, and the current station building and Odakyu Department Store opened on 23 September 1976. The JR station was moved 0.4 km (0.25 mi) towards Hachiōji and also renamed to Machida on 1 April 1980 to reduce the walking distance between it and the Odakyu station from 700 m (2,300 ft) to 300 m (980 ft), to facilitate interchange.[2][3]
Station numbering was introduced to the Odakyu Line in January 2014 with Machida being assigned station number OH27.[4][5] In 2016, Number assignments were introduced to the Yokohama Line platforms on 20 August of that year with those facilities being assigned station number JH23.[6][7]
