Daitabashi

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Daitabashi Station opened on 15 April 1913 as a station of the Keiō Electric Tramway. Wartime consolidation moved it through Tokyu in May 1944, and the spun-off Keio Teito Electric Railway took ownership in June 1948. The site straddles a slope, so the Sasazuka side is elevated to clear the Tamagawa Aqueduct, while the entrance lies below ground on the Keiō-Hachiōji side. Continuous grade-separation works affecting Daitabashi began on 28 February 2014, and once finished the platforms will become a single island. The name commemorates a former bridge over the Tamagawa Aqueduct, itself drawing on the local place-name Daita.

Daitabashi is one of the last places where the otherwise-buried Tamagawa Aqueduct still flows in the open, and the bridge that lent the station its name no longer exists.
