Location

History

The station opened on 25 April 1985 as Yūenchi-nishi Station with the conversion of the Seibu Yamaguchi Line to a new-transit automated guideway system. It replaced the earlier light-rail Yūenchi-mae Station that had stood further west on the line's original alignment. Although it shares its opening day with the rebuilt Yamaguchi Line, the station's own records do not inherit any earlier history. On 13 March 2021 it was renamed Seibuen-yūenchi to reflect the renovation of the Seibuen amusement park, whose former central gate was closed and whose former western entrance was redeveloped as the new main gate alongside the station.

Notes

The station sits in Saitama Prefecture but only just — its location at the far southern end of the Saitama–Tokyo boundary, in Tokorozawa, makes it the southernmost railway station of the prefecture.
