History
Sunagawa-Nanaban Station opened on 27 November 1998 on the Tama Toshi Monorail Line, in Tachikawa, Tokyo. The station lies 2.5 km from the line's northern terminus at Kamikitadai, directly above the intersection of Tokyo Metropolitan Routes 43 (Imokubo Kaidō) and 7 (Itsukaichi Kaidō). It is an elevated stop with two opposed side platforms, two tracks, and the station building below, following the standardised design used throughout the monorail line. Station numbering was rolled out across the line in February 2018, with Sunagawa-Nanaban assigned TT16. The surrounding area is an older residential district where new apartment buildings and shops have grown up since the monorail opened.

Notes
The "Nanaban" — "Number Seven" — in the station name is preserved from the Edo-period numbering of the new rice paddies opened by the Sunagawa-Shinden land reclamation, in which today's Sunagawa-machi district was originally block seven.
