Manseibashi Station

The private Kōbu Railway (甲武鉄道) between Tachikawa and Shinjuku was opened on April 11, 1889.

The line was gradually extended east towards the center of Tokyo and was nationalized on October 1, 1906.

In July 2012, work started to redevelop the site, with the original redbrick structure forming the basis of a new office and retail complex scheduled to open in summer 2013.

The subway line between Ueno and Asakusa, opened in 1927, was being extended southward.

When the extension reached the Kanda River, a temporary subway station was opened at Manseibashi on January 1, 1930.

One anime series, RahXephon, set some of its important scenes in this station, showing it restored and modernized in 2015.
