Location
History
Yaguchi-no-watashi Station serves the Tokyu Tamagawa Line in Tamagawa, Ota, Tokyo, and is operated by Tokyu Corporation under station number TM06. It opened on 1 November 1923 as plain Yaguchi Station on the Meguro-Kamata Electric Railway, and was renamed Yaguchi-no-watashi on 21 May 1930. The name refers to the Yaguchi ferry crossing on the nearby Tama River, which operated until 1949. When the former Mekama Line was split on 6 August 2000, the station became part of the Tokyu Tamagawa Line. The layout is two opposed ground-level side platforms, each with its own ticket gate and not connected within the fare-paid area.
Notes
Manga artist Takao Yaguchi took his pen name from this station, where he once lived in a nearby apartment; the name was suggested to him by Ikki Kajiwara.
