History
Toneri Station opened on 30 March 2008 with the start of revenue service on the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation's Nippori-Toneri Liner, an elevated rubber-tyred automated guideway transit system. The station, in Toneri 1-chōme of Adachi Ward, is 8.7 kilometres from the line's southern terminus at Nippori. It consists of a single elevated island platform serving two tracks. Station numbering was introduced in November 2017, with Toneri assigned NT12. The station serves the surrounding low-rise residential district of Toneri whose kanji 舎人 is famously difficult to read for outsiders. Toneri is one of the inner stops on the Liner, sitting between Minumadai-shinsuikōen and Toneri-kōen.

Notes
Toneri is officially listed among Japan's hard-to-read (難読) station names — the 舎人 kanji are far more commonly seen as a surname than as a place reading.
