History
Daikan-yama Station opened on 28 August 1927 on the Tōyoko Line of the Tōkyō Yokohama Electric Railway, eighteen months after the line itself entered service. The wartime consolidation of 26 May 1942 absorbed the company into Tokyo Express Electric Railway, and the present-day Tōkyū Corporation continues to operate the station. The present station building entered service on 16 November 1989, alongside automatic ticket gates. The most dramatic chapter came overnight on 16 March 2013 when the section between Daikan-yama and Shibuya was switched from an above-ground rising approach to an underground alignment for through-running with the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line.
Notes
On the night of 15–16 March 2013, approximately 1,200 engineers worked roughly 3 hours and 25 minutes to drop the up-slope at Daikan-yama into the new underground alignment toward Shibuya in a single overnight cutover.
