The station of Higashikurume (Higashi-kurume station, 東久留米駅) is a station served by the private Seibu Ikebukuro line.

The easiest way to take this line if you are in one of the central wards of Tokyo, is to reach Ikebukuro station, served by various lines including the JR Yamanote line, and there change with the Seibu Ikebukuro line, which makes last stop in Ikebukuro.

You can use without problems the SUICA/PASMO cards with the Seibu lines so its quite easy to use the line, quindi è abbastanza facile usare la linea, as if it were any metro line.

The majority of the train stops at Higashikurume, but not all trains.
Express, rapid express and limited express trains (less frequent) don't stop, local, semi-express and rapid trains stop (the most common).
