Den-en-chōfu Station (田園調布駅 Den'en Chōfu Eki?) is a station intersecting the Tōkyū Toyoko and Meguro lines in Tokyo. It is roughly a 15-minute train journey from Den-en-chōfu to Shibuya Station.

The station is in Den-en-chōfu, within the Ōta ward of suburban SSW Tokyo. This was one of the original garden suburbs of Tokyo, running along the Tama River. The design of the town was heavily influenced by Sir Ebenezer Howard's "Garden cities of tomorrow", published in London in the early 1900s. The original 1920s station building was torn down in the late eighties to make way for the new modern station building. In a nod to its past and in order to retain its unique identity, a copy of the original building was constructed on elevated ground and now acts as an entranceway to the plaza in front of the subway station entrance. The area is considered by many as one of the most affluent in Tokyo.[vague] Real estate is extremely expensive and the immediate vicinity on the west side of the station serves as home to many celebrities, politicians and successful entrepreneurs.[citation needed] The west side of the station has only a handful of shops and businesses surrounding it.
