Shimo-Kitazawa Station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shimo-Kitazawa Station (下北沢駅) is an interchange station on the Odakyu Odawara and the Keio Inokashira lines located in Tokyo's Setagaya ward. The Odakyu section was opened on April 1, 1927, and the Keio section on August 1, 1933.

An unusual feature of Shimo-Kitazawa station is the use of a single ticket gate serving two independent lines and ticketing systems; this is a legacy of the Inokashira Line's former ownership by Odakyu.

The station is located within Shimokitazawa neighborhood. It is a popular location for young people with a number of shops catering to them.
