Gumyōji Station (B 12) is on the Yokohama Municipal Subway Blue Line (Line 1) in Tōri-chō 4-chōme, Minami-ku, Yokohama. It opened on 16 December 1972 at the site of the former Yokohama City Tram Gumyō-ji stop (closed 1968), which itself traced back to 1914 as a Yokohama Electric Tramway stop. The subway station is named after Gumyō-ji Temple — located in front of the unrelated Keikyū Gumyōji Station — even though the temple sits about 500 m away on the opposite side of the Ōoka River. Elevators (3 units) and a barrier-free toilet were added by 20 July 2000, station-business outsourcing to Keiō Setsubi Service began on 1 December 2004, platform-edge doors entered service on 23 June 2007, and docomo Wi-Fi public wireless LAN launched on 10 April 2012. Two opposed side platforms.

Although both stations are 'Gumyōji', the Yokohama Subway station and the Keikyū station are about 500 m apart on opposite sides of the Ōoka River — and the eponymous Gumyō-ji Temple itself stands in front of the Keikyū station, not the subway one.
