Location

History

Higashi-Kaijin Station opened on 27 April 1996 in the Kaijin neighbourhood of Funabashi, Chiba, operated by the third-sector Tōyō Rapid Railway as the second station from the Nishi-Funabashi terminus (station code TR02). The station name had been confirmed on 17 August 1995. A single island platform lies on basement level 2, with the station's single set of ticket gates on basement level 1; the stop sits within the 2.7-kilometre Kaijin Tunnel, the longest tunnel on the Tōyō Rapid line. A single crossover toward Hasama allows emergency reversals although no regular trains terminate here. A manned gate is retained alongside the automatic ticket gates.

Notes

Although the west exit opens directly toward the Tōbu Urban Park Line viaduct, transfers to Tōbu's Shin-Funabashi and Keisei's Funabashi station require walking out through the east exit because no direct connection was built.
