Honancho
Honancho
Station lies
on the Honancho Branch of Tokyo
Metro Marunouchi Line in the Honan
district of Suginami Ward of Tokyo.
The station has one island platform.
The
Marunouchi Line was originally built
in 1945 starting from Ogikubo in
the west of Tokyo, moving on to
Shinjuku and proceeding to Tokyo
Station, from where it takes a U-turn
and turns back going to and ending
at Ikebukuro. The Honancho Branch
of Marunouchi Line was added later
in 1962, starting from Nakano-Sakaue
and ending at Honancho. Whereas
the main Marunouchi Line stations
carry the letter M , the
Honancho Branch stations have a
lowercase m.
