Location

History

Tokiwadai Station opened on 20 October 1935 on the Tōbu Tōjō Line as Musashi-Tokiwa Station, in what is now Tokiwadai, Itabashi, Tokyo. A south exit was added in 1950 and the station was renamed Tokiwadai on 1 October 1951. In 1976 the station's underground passage was moved from the Ikebukuro end of the platform to its centre so that ten-car trains could stop. Departure-melody chimes entered service on 27 April 2007, the station number TJ 06 was assigned on 17 March 2012, the original north building was refurbished and reopened with the "Musashi-Tokiwa Komichi" outdoor gallery on 30 May 2018, and the EQUiA Tokiwadai retail complex opened beside it on 29 November 2019.

Notes

The garden-suburb housing estate north of the station was Tobu Railway's first foray into developing residential land along its own line, laid out in 1935 along an oval Plane-tree promenade with cul-de-sacs, road-bays and footpaths inspired by American garden-city designs of the early 20th century.
