Magome Station (馬込)
A02 is a textbook station in the literal sense: Toei built Magome, Nakanobu and Togoshi to one template, which the bureau calls its Daini Keihin standard type, and Magome is the version the other two were copied from. It opened on 15 November 1968, when the line was still Toei Line 1 — the Asakusa Line name arrived on 1 July 1978 — and it keeps the standard shape: one island platform, two tracks, escalators and an elevator between the gates and the platform.
Small things have changed around that core. The concourse once held a reading nook called Panorama Oasis, with a bookcase built in the shape of a 5300 series train and stocked as the Asakusa Line Magome library; it was taken out in 2009 during rebuilding. Exit A3 was closed from August 2008 to May 2010 while barrier-free and disaster-protection work went in, and the platform walls were redone in white and pink in the 2011 financial year. Asakusa Line trains here run through onto Keikyu, Keisei, Hokuso and Shibayama tracks.
Finding Magome on the signs
Every line gives the station its own letter-and-number code. You never have to read the Japanese name to find the right platform.
Station numbers at Magome
Tokyo signposts every platform, exit and train door with a letter and a two-digit number. Matching the number is faster than reading the name — and it is what you will see on the map, in announcements and on the platform edge.

Japan publishes two subway timetables: 平日 weekdays and 土休日 Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. There is no separate Sunday timetable, and the December 30 – January 3 period runs the holiday timetable.

Frequently asked questions
Because they are the same design. Toei built this group of stations to a single pattern it calls the Daini Keihin standard station, and Magome is the original; the other two differ slightly only because a utility duct sits between their concourse and platform levels, so the interiors were finished differently to tell them apart.
The concourse once had a corner called Panorama Oasis with a bookcase modeled on a 5300 series train, lending books as the Asakusa Line Magome library. It was removed in 2009 when the station was rebuilt for step-free access, and the walls were redecorated in white and pink in the 2011 financial year.
