History
Nishi-magome Station opened on 15 November 1968 as the southern terminus of Toei Line 1, operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation. The route was renamed the Toei Asakusa Line on 1 July 1978. The station sits beneath the Daini Keihin highway in Ōta, Tokyo, and remains the southernmost station of the entire Tokyo subway network. PASMO acceptance began on 18 March 2007, the east entrance opened on 30 March 2013, and platform-edge doors were activated on 18 November 2023, making Nishi-magome the last station in the Bureau's Toei Subway network to receive them. The Magome inspection depot, which services Asakusa and Ōedo Line rolling stock, sits just south of the platforms.

Notes
Nishi-magome is the southernmost station of the entire Tokyo subway network, and the only station on the Asakusa Line south of Mita with relative platforms instead of an island platform.
