Location

History

Daishimae Station opened on 20 December 1931 as the terminus of the Tōbu Seiban Line (now the Tōbu Daishi Line), then a planned link from Nishiarai to Kami-Itabashi; through trains from Asakusa Kaminarimon (now Asakusa) reached the station from the start. Service was suspended on 20 May 1945 and resumed on 21 May 1947 under the line's new name, Daishi Line. The station was moved to its current site in December 1968 for the widening of Ring Road 7 (Kan-Nana-dōri), elevated in July 1991, and given the station number TS 51 on 17 March 2012. Until 1 March 2026 the station had no ticket gate of its own and fares were collected at a transfer concourse inside Nishiarai Station.

Notes

From 1931 until 1 March 2026, Daishimae was a gateless platform with no ticket machines of its own; passengers were checked in and out at a dedicated intermediate transfer gate inside the next-door Nishiarai Station instead.
