History
Opened 1958

Nishi-Funabashi Station (西船橋駅 Nishi-Funabashi-eki?) is a railway station in Funabashi, Chiba, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East), Tokyo Metro, and the Tōyō Rapid Railway. It is the eastern-most station of the Tokyo subway network, lying in Chiba prefecture.

Nishi-Funabashi Station is served by the following lines.

The station consists of six island platforms serving eleven tracks on two levels (another two tracks are used by Sōbu Line (Rapid) trains which do not stop). The high-level station serves the Keiyō and Musashino Lines. The low level is served by the Sōbu, Tōzai and Tōyō Rapid Railway Lines. The low level can be subdivided into two sections, one served by trains running into Tokyo via the Sōbu Line and the other by trains running into Tokyo via the Tōzai Line, since all the track connections between the two lines are east of the station.

Platforms 1 and 2 are for Sōbu Line trains for Funabashi, Tsudanuma and Chiba, and platforms 3 and 4 for trains for Kinshichō, Akihabara, Shinjuku and Mitaka. Platforms 2 and 3 share the same track and is often used to terminate trains from Tokyo.
