History
Bakuro-yokoyama Station is a Toei Shinjuku Line subway stop in Chūō, Tokyo, located 8.1 km from the line's western terminus at Shinjuku. The underground station opened on 21 December 1978 as part of the Shinjuku Line's first eastward extension and is laid out with two side platforms serving two tracks. It is operated by Toei Subway. Although a single station in its own right, Bakuro-yokoyama is linked by underground passages to two nearby stops—Higashi-nihombashi on the Toei Asakusa Line and Bakurochō on the JR Sōbu Main Line—forming a sprawling three-station interchange in the Bakuro-Yokoyama wholesale district.

Notes
Bakuro-yokoyama, Higashi-nihombashi and Bakurochō are three separately-named stations on three separate operators' lines, but a single underground concourse stitches them into one interchange.
