History

The station opened on 1 May 1914.
At the time of its opening, the station was located in the town of Itabashi (later becoming
Itabashi Ward), and took its name from the neighbourhood of Shimo-Itabashi adjacent to the station.
The station was relocated in 1935, moving it across the boundary from Itabashi into
Toshima.
The site of the original station is now used as a stabling yard with capacity for up to eight trains, and the "0.0" kilometre post for the Tobu Tojo Line is located here.
From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tobu Tojo Line, with Shimo-Itabashi Station becoming "TJ-03".
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2010, the station was used by an average of 14,986 passengers daily.
