History

The station first opened on 1 April 1902 as Shirahige Station (白鬚駅), but operations were suspended from 15 July 1905, and the station was formally closed from 4 April 1908. It reopened as Tamanoi Station (玉ノ井駅) on 1 October 1923 following urban regrowth after the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. On 12 December 1987, the station was renamed Higashi-Mukōjima Station.[2]

gollark: Distribution isn't exactly trivial. If there's surplus food here, then it's not very easy to ship it across the world to someone who might need it.
gollark: It's not a solution at a population scale because we need "food" and "water" and "electricity" and sometimes "medical treatment".
gollark: I'm sure nothing bad could happen if everyone stayed at home all the time for several weeks.
gollark: Ah yes, of course.
