History

Kami-Shakujii Station opened on 16 April 1927 on what became the Seibu Shinjuku Line, the southernmost stop in Nerima Ward, Tokyo. The platform layout was rebuilt from a single island into two islands serving three tracks in the early 1960s, and a bridge-style station building was completed on 7 March 1965. Automatic ticket gates entered service on 1 September 1993, escalators followed at the south entrance around 1995, and barrier-free improvements adding an elevator and renovated restrooms were completed on 13 February 2004. The Seibu Kami-Shakujii rolling-stock depot and a crew base are co-located here, so trains terminate at the station and drivers and conductors often change. Station numbering assigned SS13 in fiscal 2012.

Notes

An elevated rebuild of the 5.1 km stretch of the Seibu Shinjuku Line between Iogi and Seibu-Yagisawa — authorised in March 2024 — is set to expand Kami-Shakujii from its present two platforms and three tracks to two island platforms serving four, allowing trains in both directions to be overtaken.
