Minowabashi Station (SA 01) is the terminus of the Toden Arakawa Line (Tokyo Sakura Tram) in Minami-Senju 1-chōme, Arakawa, Tokyo, set just west of National Route 4 (Nikkō Kaidō). Its lineage goes back to a stop the Tokyo Railway (Tōkyō Tetsudō) opened on Nikkō Kaidō on 16 April 1911, then written 三輪橋 (Minowabashi); the Ōji Electric Tramway added a separate stop on 1 April 1913. The two coexisted, unconnected by track, until the Nikkō-Kaidō tram routes (21 and 31) were abolished in 1969. In 1978 the layout was reorganised for one-man operation so that a single track is flanked by separate boarding and alighting platforms: a tram sets passengers down at the alighting platform, moves forward to the boarding platform, and then takes passengers on. It was selected as one of the 'Top 100 Kanto Stations' in 1997 — the citation called it the only stop in Tokyo served by a Toden tram, with fine roses blooming in spring — and it was given its retro look in a full renewal on 26 May 2007, timed to the start of Toden 9000-series service.

Minowabashi was selected as a 'Top 100 Kanto Station' in 1997 — the citation called it the only tram stop in Tokyo where roses bloom in spring. Passengers coming from Nikkō Kaidō reach the stop through a building once owned by the Ōji Electric Tramway, which locals still call 'Ōden Biru'.
