Location
History
Myōden Station is a Tokyo Metro Tōzai Line station in the city of Ichikawa, Chiba, sited 26.8 km from the line's western terminus at Nakano. The site was first used as Shimo-Myōden Signal Station from 29 March 1969, when the Tōzai Line was extended to Nishi-Funabashi; it functioned as a parking facility for trains beginning or terminating at Gyōtoku. Construction to convert the signal point into a passenger-accessible station began in February 1997, and Myōden Station officially opened on 22 January 2000. The elevated station has two island platforms serving four tracks on the third floor, with departures from Tracks 1 and 4. After the 2004 privatisation of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority the station passed to Tokyo Metro.
Notes
Myōden began life in 1969 not as a station at all but as a signal point and parking yard for trains terminating at neighbouring Gyōtoku, only being converted to a passenger station three decades later.
