If we follow the spellings of the railway companies, we must change at least the titles with Keisei and Keiō- (see each photo):

• Keiō-Katakura Station -> Keiō-katakura Station[1]
• Keiō Hachiōji Station -> Keiō-hachiōji Station[2]
• Keisei-Hikifune Station -> Keisei Hikifune Station[3]
• Yoyogi-Kōen Station -> Yoyogi-kōen Station[4] or Yoyogi-koen Station[5]
• Tōdaimae Station[6] (or Todaimae Station[7])
• Shibakōen Station[8] (or Shibakoen Station[9])

I've changed some station titles of the Keiō Line according to the company's spellings [10]--Salatonbv (talk) 04:57, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So why is "Station" capitalized in these? We don't do that in other countries, so probably we should not in Japan, no? Dicklyon (talk) 03:22, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
