History

Ōji-ekimae Station (SA 16) is a Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation Toden Arakawa Line (Tokyo Sakura Tram) tram stop at the entrance to Ōji Station of JR East and the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, Kita-ku, Tokyo. It opened on 17 April 1915 as Ōji Station on the Ōji Electric Tramway when the company opened the section from Asukayama to Ōji, and was then on the south side of the Tōhoku Main Line. At an unrecorded date in 1928 the stop was relocated and renamed Ōji-ekimae. A branch to Ōji-Yanagida opened on 1 December 1932, making the stop a junction. On 1 February 1942 it was transferred to the Tokyo City Tramway when the Ōji Electric Tramway was sold to Tokyo City; the Akabane Line (to Ōji-Yanagida) was abolished on 12 November 1972.

Notes

From 1932 to 1972 Ōji-ekimae was a three-way junction: the Arakawa Line ran towards Sakaemachi, the Takinogawa Line ran towards Asukayama (later merged into the Arakawa Line), and the now-abolished Akabane Line ran towards Ōji-Yanagida. The Akabane Line was abolished on 12 November 1972.
