History

Kamimachi Station opened on 1 May 1925 as a stop on the Tamagawa Electric Railway. The Setagaya Line, on which the station now sits, was split off as an independent operation when the parent Tamagawa Line was abolished in 1969, and is today operated by Tōkyū. The station carries the number SG06.

Notes

Kamimachi has a distinctive zigzag (chidori-shiki) layout in which the two side platforms sit diagonally on either side of a level crossing; the arrangement dates from the building of the depot here, which replaced the earlier face-to-face pair. Each platform is four cars long, normally fenced in the middle; when rolling-stock exchanges take place, the fences are opened and two two-car sets stand end-to-end so passengers can switch trains. The down-side platform once had a shop at its Shimo-Takaido end, while the up-side platform has the ticket machine and the only restroom on the entire Setagaya Line; the station office on that side closed in April 2022.
