Location
History
Kōya Station opened on 30 March 2008 when the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation inaugurated the elevated Nippori-Toneri Liner automated guideway line. The station has a single island platform serving two tracks. Station numbering was introduced in November 2017 with the station receiving NT07. The 'Kōya' name does not correspond to a current address — it survives from the historic Adachi County Kōya Village, recorded as 'Adachi-ku Kōya-chō' until that name was phased out on 30 September 1976.
Notes
The kanji 高野 are read 'Kōya' here, yet the name matches no current address in Adachi: it descends from Kōya Village in the old Adachi County, which first appears in the Edo period and lasted as the ward place name Kōya-chō until 30 September 1976 — abolished more than three decades before the Nippori-Toneri Liner brought the name back as a station in 2008.
