History
Kawasaki-Daishi Station opened on 21 January 1899 as Daishi Station on the new Daishi Electric Railway, predecessor of today's Keikyū. It was renamed Kawasaki-Daishi in November 1925. Through corporate succession from Daishi Electric Railway to Keihin Electric Railway to Tokyu and ultimately to Keikyū, the station remained continuously in service, making it the oldest extant Keikyū station and the oldest electric-railway station still operating in the Kantō region. A new north exit was put into service on 20 December 2007, and an arrival jingle based on Misora Hibari's "Yawara" — written by Kawasaki-Daishi devotee Masao Koga — ran from 1 May 2014 to 30 April 2015. The Daishi Line grade-separation project plans underground reconstruction from March 2027 (KK23).
Notes
Until 1997, a freight siding ran west from the station serving the Ajinomoto Kawasaki Plant, with three-rail dual-gauge track allowing freight trains to reach Kawasaki Freight Terminal.
