History
Nerima Station (SI 06 / E 35) is a major junction in Nerima Ward, Tokyo. The Seibu Railway side opened on 15 April 1915 as a station on the Musashino Railway Musashino Line, with the Toshima Line (today the Seibu Toshima Line) branching off on 15 October 1927. After post-war regrouping the station became part of Seibu Railway in 1946. The Toei Subway side opened on 10 December 1991 when Toei Line No. 12 (renamed the Ōedo Line on 20 April 2000) reached Nerima from Hikarigaoka. The Seibu side was completely elevated in stages between 1994 and 1997 with new through-running to the Tokyo Metro Yūrakuchō Line via the Seibu Yūrakuchō Line, and the section to Nakamurabashi was quadrupled on 12 March 2003.

Notes
Nerima is one of only a handful of stations that acts as a four-way junction — through-running from the Seibu Toshima Line, Seibu Ikebukuro Line and Seibu Yūrakuchō Line connects further to the Tokyo Metro Yūrakuchō and Fukutoshin lines and onward to the Tōyoko Line and Minatomirai Line.
