Higashi-Nakano is an important traffic junction, named after the district of the same name west of the city center. Two railway lines cross here on different levels. The Chūō-Sōbu line of the JR East railway company runs above ground from Mitaka via Akihabara to Chiba . This runs parallel to the tracks of the Chūō rapid transit line , the urban part of the Chūō main line . Local trains run at frequent intervals with a short train sequence , i. H. every 2 to 3 minutes during rush hour, otherwise every 5 to 6 minutes. On the other hand, no express trains stop. The Ōedo line , a subway line of the Toei subway operated by the Tokyo Prefecture Transportation Office, runs underground in a north-south direction .

There is a bus terminal on the western forecourt of the station , which is served by three bus routes operated by Kantō Bus and Seibu Bus .

Cherry trees along the way

The JR station is a ground level through station . The layout is oriented from east to west, the four-track railway line is lined with cherry trees. While there is no stopping point at the northern pair of tracks, the southern pair of tracks is located on a completely covered central platform . The station has two reception buildings at the western and eastern end of the platform, which are several hundred meters apart and both of them span the entire track system in the form of a riding station .

The western riding station is barrier-free and equipped with several elevators and escalators . It is connected to the immediately adjacent Atrevi shopping center , a five-story building that also spans the entire width of the railway line. This is followed by the forecourt and a four-lane main road, so that the railway line in this area runs under an overburden that is more than a hundred meters long. The eastern, significantly smaller equestrian station has not been staffed since March 2019.

A pedestrian tunnel leads from the western entrance building to the underground station below the main street . This is designed as a through station with two tracks that can be reached from a central platform. The underground station has its own pavilion-like entrance building, from which an elevator and two escalators lead down; Accessibility is also guaranteed here.

history

Platform locks
Ōedo Line Metro Station

The Shinjuku - Tachikawa section of the Chūō main line had been opened in 1889, but the trains initially went through without stopping. This changed on June 14, 1906 with the opening of the Kashiwagi station ( 柏木 ) by the private railway company Kōbu Tetsudō . After the Railway Nationalization Act came into force , the Railway Authority (later the Ministry of Railways ) took over operations on the line on October 1 of the same year. The station was given its current name on January 1, 1917. To solve the problem of increasing traffic jams at the level crossing directly next to the eastern exit, an underpass was built in 1962 at a distance of 60 meters . For reasons of cost, the Japanese State Railways stopped checking in luggage on February 1, 1984. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the possession of the new company JR East on April 1, 1987 .

On December 5, 1988, a rear-end collision occurred in the train station in which two people died and 116 other injuries, some of them serious, were sustained. This accident accelerated the introduction of automatic emergency braking systems. On December 19, 1997, the Toei subway extended the Ōedo line from Shinjuku to Nerima and also took the Higashi-Nakano subway station into operation. The current reception building opened on August 31, 2012.
