History

Motokaji Station began life as a freight stop — Kaji Freight Shed — opened on 12 November 1918 on the Musashino Railway, ancestor of today’s Seibu Ikebukuro Line. It was renamed Iwasawa Freight Shed in 1919 and converted to a full passenger station as Motokaji on 3 April 1926. A new station building opened in 1990. The stop was unmanned from January 1999 — the only unmanned station on the Seibu network at which Tokyo Metro trains called — until staff returned in August 2009. Seibu introduced station numbering across its lines in fiscal 2012, designating Motokaji as SI25, and through-running to Yokohama via Tokyu Toyoko commenced on 16 March 2013.

Notes

During its decade as an unmanned stop (1999–2009) Motokaji was the only unstaffed Seibu station served by Tokyo Metro trains.
