Location

History

Gumyōji Station (B12) is on the Yokohama Municipal Subway Blue Line (Line 1) in Tōri-chō 4-chōme, Minami-ku, Yokohama. It opened on 16 December 1972 at the site of the former Yokohama City Tram Gumyō-ji stop (closed 1968), which itself traced back to 1914 as a Yokohama Electric Tramway stop. The subway station is named after Gumyō-ji Temple, which stands in front of the unrelated Keikyū Gumyōji Station about 500 m away, on the other side of the Gumyōji Kannon shopping street. Elevators (3 units) and a barrier-free toilet were added by 20 July 2000, station-business outsourcing to Keiō Setsubi Service began on 1 December 2004, platform-edge doors entered service on 23 June 2007, and docomo Wi-Fi public wireless LAN launched on 10 April 2012. The station has two opposed side platforms.

Notes

Although both stations are 'Gumyōji', the Yokohama Subway station and the Keikyū station are about 500 m apart, on opposite sides of the Gumyōji Kannon shopping street — and the eponymous Gumyō-ji Temple itself stands in front of the Keikyū station, not the subway one.
