Station numbering was introduced to the Odakyu terminal in 2014 with Shinjuku being assigned station number OH03.^[1][2]

Renovation works to the east exit started in November 2018 and were completed in November 2020.^[3] The updated station building was constructed using wood from western Tokyo; the design elements, in particular its use of Shinto-inspired architecture, reflect its proximity to the Meiji Shrine.^[3]
