Nakano-fujimicho Station is served by the 3.2 km (2.0 mi) Hōnanchō branch of the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line from Nakano-sakaue to Hōnanchō, and is 1.9 km (1.2 mi) from Nakano-sakaue.[1] During the daytime, the station is served by 3-car trains shuttling between Nakano-sakaue and Hōnanchō, but during the morning and evening peaks, due to its location next to the line's maintenance depot, the station is also served by some 6-car through trains starting and terminating here, which run to and from Ikebukuro at the eastern end of the main line.[1] The station is numbered "Mb-04".
Station layout
The station has two side platforms serving two tracks on the first basement (B1F) level. The single entrance, ticket vending machines, and ticket barriers are located at ground level.
Nakano-fujimicho Station opened on 8 February 1961.[2]
The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[3]
In March 2010, to promote the release of the Cho-Den-O Trilogy of the Kamen Rider movies, a special marking was used on the trains coming to Nakano-fujimichō from Ueno Station, and Den-O's Rina Akiyama greeted 200 fans who rode on the first of those trains.[4][5]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2013, the station was the least used on the Marunouchi Line and the 125th-busiest on the Tokyo Metro network with an average of 18,285 passengers daily.[6]
