Nakano-fujimicho Station

Nakano-fujimicho Station (中野富士見町)
Mb04 belongs to the Honancho branch, the 3.2 km stub of the Marunouchi Line that leaves the main line at Nakano-sakaue, and it opened with that branch on 8 February 1961. The arrangement is modest: two side platforms on the first basement level, a single entrance, and the ticket machines and barriers at street level.
The depot is what makes the station unusual. Tokyo Metro’s Nakano maintenance works and training center lie beside it, so while daytime service is three-car trains shuttling to Honancho, at the morning and evening peaks some six-car trains start and finish their runs at Nakano-fujimicho and work right through to Ikebukuro at the far end of the main line. It is also among the quietest stations Tokyo Metro operates: 19,968 entries and exits a day in the 2025 survey, and in the 2013 figures the least used on its line.
Finding Nakano-fujimicho 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 Nakano-fujimicho
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 the depot is next door. Tokyo Metro’s Nakano maintenance works adjoin the station, so at the morning and evening peaks six-car trains can be brought out here and run through to Ikebukuro, while the rest of the day the branch is worked by three-car shuttles.
By Tokyo Metro standards, very. The 2025 survey recorded 19,968 entries and exits a day, and in the 2013 figures it was the least used station on the Marunouchi Line and 125th on the network — a different world from the main line it belongs to.
