History
Higashi-Agano Station opened on 10 September 1929 as Koshū Station (虎秀駅) on what is now the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, and was renamed to its current name on 1 March 1933. The unstaffed stop lies in the city of Hannō, Saitama, and sits 53.8 kilometres from the Ikebukuro terminus. The station consists of a single island platform reached from the building by a level crossing, and although it has no automated faretes, simple readers accept PASMO and Suica. Seibu Railway introduced systemwide station numbering during fiscal 2012, assigning it SI30. From 1 March 2023 the station became a roving-staff stop, ending permanent staffing and ticket-counter sales.
