Location

History

Nakagami Station opened on 16 May 1908 on the Ōme Railway (later Ōme Electric Railway), in what is now Asahi-chō, Akishima, Tokyo. Local villagers from Nakagami had petitioned for a station for more than a decade, raising about 98 yen in land-donation subscriptions in 1896 and formally requesting a stop in 1898; Ōme Railway filed its construction application on 7 February 1908 and received approval on 25 February. The line was nationalised on 1 April 1944 under wartime private-railway buyouts. JR East took over from JNR in April 1987. A free passageway across the station opened on 1 July 1987, and an elevated station building entered service on 26 December 1989.

Notes

A short walk south from Nakagami's south exit leads to the Tamagawa Fureai Aquarium at the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Sewerage's Tamagawa Upstream Water Reclamation Center, where char, cherry trout, sweetfish, dace and crucian carp swim in tanks of treated sewage effluent — an aquarium of a kind rare anywhere in the world.
