Hakubutsukan-Dōbutsuen Station
Hakubutsukan-Dobutsuen Station (Japanese: 博物館動物園駅) is a former station of the Keisei Electric Railway in Taito-ku, Tokyo. It is located between Nippori Station and Keisei Ueno Station.[1] It opened in 1933, but was closed on 1 April 1997 due to the length of the platform being too short for most trains. The station was formally abandoned in April 2004.[2] The station building and platform are still in existence and have been renovated and opened to the public in 2018.[3][4]
