History
Arakawa-nanachōme Station (SA 05) is a stop on the Tokyo Toden Arakawa Line (Tokyo Sakura Tram) in Arakawa, Tokyo. It opened on 1 April 1913 as Hakuzensha-mae Station when the Ōji Electric Tramway extended its line between Minowa (today Minowabashi) and Asukayama-shita (today Kajiwara). The line passed to Tokyo City Tram on 1 February 1942, when the stop was renamed Mikawajima-hatchōme. With the 1961 introduction of new residential addresses it took its current name. The stop has two side platforms set opposite each other, and recorded just 473 daily users in FY 2019 — the fewest of any station or tram stop in the 23 wards of Tokyo.
