Wakōshi Station (和光市駅 Wakōshi-eki?) is a railway station in Wakō, Saitama, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Tobu Railway and Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro. It is the only Tokyo Metro station located in Saitama Prefecture. It is the westernmost station in the Tokyo subway network, and the northernmost Tokyo Metro station (Nishi-Takashimadaira on the Toei network is farther north).
Wakōshi Station is served by the Tobu Tojo Line from Ikebukuro to Kawagoe and Ogawamachi in Saitama Prefecture. It also forms the northern terminus of the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line, with some trains continuing northward on the Tobu Tojo Line to Shiki and Kawagoeshi. Located between Narimasu and Asaka stations, it is 12.5 km from the Ikebukuro terminus.
The station consists of two island platforms serving four tracks. The two platforms, 2 and 3, used by Tokyo Metro services were equipped with chest-high platform edge doors in April 2012, with operation commencing in July 2012. Similar platform edge doors were installed on the Tobu platforms, 1 and 4, in February 2016, and scheduled to be brought into operation from 26 March.
