Nishi-magome Station, Underground metro station in Ota-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Nishi-Magome Station is an underground metro station in Ota-ku, Tokyo, and serves as the southern terminal of the Toei Asakusa Line. It has two side platforms running alongside two parallel tracks, built beneath the Daini Keihin national highway.
The station opened on November 15, 1968, as part of the Toei Line 1. It took its current name in 1978, when Tokyo's subway network was reorganized and the line was renamed the Asakusa Line.
The station sits close to Ikegami Honmon-ji, one of the most visited Buddhist temples in Tokyo, especially during autumn festivals. Visitors heading to the temple often walk from here through the quiet streets of Nishi-Magome.
The station is equipped with escalators, elevators, and accessible restrooms, making it easy to navigate for people with reduced mobility. As a terminal station, orientation is straightforward since all trains depart in the same direction.
The station connects directly to the Magome depot, a maintenance facility that services trains from both the Asakusa and Oedo lines. It is relatively rare for a single terminal station to support two separate lines of the same network at once.
