History

Daishibashi Station opened as Sangyōdōro Station (産業道路駅, Sangyōdōro-eki) on June 1, 1944 under the Tokyu Corporation. Keihin Electric Express Railway took over the station from June 1, 1948 after it was spun off from Tokyu. The station building was rebuilt on November 30, 1968. The station was built with a third track for terminating trains, but it was removed during 1990.[2]

The station was moved underground on March 2, 2019 to reduce traffic congestion from level crossings on Sanayo-doro Avenue.[3]

On March 14, 2020, the station was renamed to Daishibashi Station (大師橋駅, Daishibashi-eki). The name was changed because of the station's adjacency to the Daishi Bridge linking Kawasaki City to Tokyo's Ōta Ward.[4]
