History
Nijūyon-Ken Station opened on 10 June 1976 as part of the inaugural Kotoni-to-Shiroishi stretch of the Sapporo Municipal Subway's Tōzai Line. The neighbourhood from which the station takes its name dates to 1871, when 24 households relocated here from the Shinmi-mura district. Wheelchair-accessible escalators and a lift entered service on 25 March 1986, becoming only the second such installation on a Japanese subway after Yokohama Station. Platform-edge doors were activated on 11 February 2009, and remedial works on the in-station lifts began on 18 December 2013. On 1 December 2024 a sub-name, 'Medical Square Kita-Maruyama Mae', was added under a 1.188 million-yen contract.
Notes
When wheelchair-friendly escalators were installed in March 1986, Nijūyon-Ken became only the second station on any Japanese subway—after Yokohama—to offer them.
