Location
History
Kishibojin-mae Station (SA 27) is a Tokyo Toden Arakawa Line stop in Zōshigaya 2-chōme, Toshima, Tokyo. It opened on 12 November 1925 as the terminus of the Ōji Electric Tramway's extension from Ōtsuka-eki-mae, and was extended further to Omokagebashi on 25 December 1928. It became a Tokyo City Tram Waseda Line (today's Arakawa Line) stop when Ōji Electric was absorbed on 1 February 1942, was suspended in 1944 during wartime restrictions, and resumed on 10 July 1946. On 14 June 2008 it became a transfer station for the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line Zōshigaya Station, which lies directly beneath. The stop has two opposed side platforms.
Notes
The stop is read "Kishibojin-mae", whereas the Kishimojin Hall of the nearby Hōmyō-ji is read "Kishimojin" (or "Kishimoshin") — and the official writing of 鬼 there uses an unusual variant that lacks the dot of the first stroke, in keeping with the legend that the goddess lost her horn after Shakyamuni persuaded her to renounce her demonic ways.
