History
Shimotsuma Station opened on 1 November 1913 with the start of operations on the Jōsō Railroad, the private predecessor of today's Kantō Railway Jōsō Line. The operator became the Jōsō-Tsukuba Railway through a 1945 merger with the Tsukuba Railway, then reorganised as Kantō Railway on 1 June 1965 after another merger with the Kashima Sangū Railway. PASMO acceptance began on 14 March 2009. Operationally the station has three tracks across two platforms, with a level crossing inside the concourse on the Toride side and a separate footbridge linking the east and west sides.
Notes
Although Shimotsuma is the city's main station, the district adjoining it — known locally as "Kuriyama" — is a shopping street lined with inns, bag shops and bicycle dealers.
