Koigakubo Station, railway station in Kokubunji, Tokyo, Japan
Koigakubo Station is a small railway station in Kokubunji, west of Tokyo, served by the Seibu Kokubunji Line with the station code SK02. It has two ground-level platforms connected by a footbridge, with the main station building and ticket gates on the south side.
The station opened in 1955 and has been serving the local area ever since. A level crossing between the platforms was replaced by a footbridge in 1986, and ramps and lifts were later added in 2006 to improve access.
The station is a daily crossing point for people living in the surrounding residential neighborhoods, used as part of ordinary morning and evening routines. Its plain design is typical of small suburban stops along commuter lines in the greater Tokyo area.
The station is small and straightforward to navigate, with signs in both Japanese and English to help visitors find their way. Ramps and lifts are available, making it accessible for travelers with luggage or limited mobility.
The Seibu Kokubunji Line that serves the station is one of the shortest private railway lines in the greater Tokyo area, linking only a handful of stops along a short route. This makes Koigakubo a rare example of a stop used almost entirely by local residents, with very little through traffic from other parts of the city.
