Heiwadai Station
Y04 F04 · Yurakucho Line and Fukutoshin Line · Nerima
Heiwadai Station (平和台)
When this station opened on 24 June 1983, the entrances came up in cabbage fields. The Kanpachi ring road has since been widened and extended past it, apartment blocks and supermarkets have filled in around, and Y04 now sits under a busy junction – the registered address is Hayamiya, although the platform itself straddles the boundary with Heiwadai, the district that gave the station its name.
It is a single island platform with one set of ticket gates, reached from a north entrance on the ring road, a south entrance toward Hikawadai and a lift-only entrance, with a fourth way in through the ward’s underground bicycle park. Platform edge doors were fitted in September 2010 and departure melodies followed in February 2011. The Fukutoshin Line has used the same tracks since 14 June 2008, which is why F04 appears alongside the Yurakucho Line number on the signs; both carry trains that continue beyond the subway onto Seibu and Tobu lines. The 2025 survey counted 43,482 entries and exits a day.
Finding Heiwadai 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 Heiwadai
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.
