Location

History

Araijuku Station opened on 28 March 2001 with the inauguration of the Saitama Rapid Railway Line, the third-sector route extending the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line from Akabane-Iwabuchi into Saitama. The underground station sits 7.5 km along the 14.6 km line and has an island platform serving two tracks, fitted with waist-height platform edge doors. PASMO support arrived on 18 March 2007, and on 1 October 2015 the operator added a sub-name marking the station as the nearest one to Kippudo. The stop principally serves a residential part of Kawaguchi, with Kawaguchi Municipal Medical Center and two prefectural high schools nearby.

Notes

In 2024 it was the least-used station on the Saitama Rapid Railway Line, with about 6,230 boarding passengers per day.
