Location

History

Hōya Station opened on 15 April 1915 in what is now Nishitōkyō, Tokyo, on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line. The on-site level crossing was abolished in August 1964 when an overpass-style station building entered service, opening a north exit. A Hōya crew base building followed at the end of 1986, and a new station building came into use on 27 December 1991. Elevator and escalator installation was completed in March 2006, and barrier-free improvements were finished in February 2007. A reconstruction tied to through-running via the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line added a third (No. 3) platform on 21 March 2010; the rebuilt Platform 2 returned to service on 17 July 2011, completing the present layout of one side platform and one island platform serving three tracks.

Notes

The first up-bound train from Hōya Station departs at 4:25 a.m., the earliest first-train departure time among private-railway stations in the Kantō region.
