Location
History
Shimo-Imaichi Station opened on 7 July 1929 as the provisional terminus of Tobu's Nikko Line after its partial extension from Shin-Kanuma. The line reached its present end at Tobu-Nikko on 1 October 1929, and on 22 October 1929 the Shimotsuke Electric Railway -- precursor of Tobu's Kinugawa Line -- moved its starting point from Shin-Imaichi to here. Tobu absorbed the Shimotsuke Electric Railway on 1 May 1943, renaming the branch the Kinugawa Line. A full Showa-era retro refurbishment of the station building was completed on 23 July 2017, together with the new Shimo-Imaichi Engine Depot and a turntable acquired from JR West's Nagatoshi Station; steam-hauled SL Taiju services started in August 2017. The original 1929 footbridge was added to the national Register of Tangible Cultural Properties on 27 October 2017.
Notes
Above the station entrance the name is rendered right-to-left in old-style characters as "驛市今下", and the pre-war and post-war posters displayed in the waiting room beside the ticket gate are part of a deliberate Showa-era retro fitout.
