Senzoku Station

Senzoku Station (洗足駅, Senzoku-eki) is a railway station on the Tokyu Meguro Line in Meguro, Tokyo, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Tokyu Corporation.

This station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks.

[1] It was developed as an anchor of the Senzoku Garden City, which was itself named after the nearby Senzoku Pond (the namesake of Senzoku-ike Station on the Ikegami Line, about 1 km away).

Although the tracks were originally at street level, they were moved underground in 1967 in order to avoid a level crossing of Kannana-dori, a major prefectural highway located to the west of the station.

The next station inbound, Nishi-koyama, was moved underground in 2006, and the northeast side of Senzoku was reconfigured with a new footbridge with elevators to allow traffic to cross.
