Tamagawa-Jōsui Station, Railway interchange station in Higashiyamato and Tachikawa, Japan
Tamagawa-Jōsui Station is a railway interchange located above ground that connects two different transit operators serving the area. One section operates with three tracks and island platforms for the Seibu Railway, while the monorail section has two side platforms for its passengers.
The Seibu Railway section opened in 1950 as part of the expanding regional network. The monorail connection was added in 1998, introducing a faster transit option to the location.
The station name reflects its location near Lake Tama, with separate Japanese characters for both the Seibu Railway and Tama Toshi Monorail sections of the facility.
The station sits at a boundary between two cities and is accessible through both transit operators. Keep in mind that the two platform areas are physically separated, so transferring between different train types requires navigating the station layout.
The municipal border between the two cities runs directly between the two station buildings, which face each other at right angles. This unusual arrangement makes the location a point where two administrative areas meet within a working transit hub.
