Morinji-mae

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Morinji-mae Station opened on 1 April 1927 as a station on the Tōbu Isesaki Line. At the 18 March 2006 timetable revision, the existing Junkyū services were renamed Section Express and their frequency cut sharply; daytime services were broken at Kuki, leaving daytime hours when no train ran through to Asakusa from this station, and Morinji-mae was added as a stop for the new Section Junkyū service. Station numbering as TI 09 was introduced on 17 March 2012, in line with other Tōbu stations, and departure melodies entered service on 26 March 2013. The station building stands on the Asakusa-bound platform, and the two platforms are linked by a footbridge.

The station takes its name from the temple Morinji, which stands east-southeast of it; it is also the nearest stop to the Tōbu Treasure Garden (formerly Yachō no Mori Tōbu), and during the spring tourist season selected Ryōmō limited-express trains used to make additional stops here.
