History
Arakawa-nichōme Station (SA 04) is a Tokyo Toden Arakawa Line stop in Arakawa 2-chōme, Arakawa, Tokyo. It opened on 1 April 1913 as Mikawashima Station when the Ōji Electric Tramway built its Minowa (today Minowabashi) – Asukayama-shita (today Kajiwara) section. The stop became part of the Tokyo City Tram Mikawashima Line (today the Arakawa Line) when Ōji Electric was absorbed on 1 February 1942. With the introduction of new residential addresses in 1961 it was renamed Arakawa-nichōme, and on 26 March 2017 it received the secondary name 'Yui-no-mori Arakawa-mae' after the adjacent multi-purpose facility. The stop has two opposed side platforms set somewhat apart.
