History
Kami-Imaichi Station opened on 1 October 1929 with the full opening of the Tōbu Nikkō Line, in the city of Nikkō, Tochigi Prefecture. It is operated by Tōbu Railway and lies 88.4 kilometres from the line's starting point at Tōbu-Dōbutsu-Kōen. The station was destaffed on 1 September 1973 and converted to a simple-agency station whose tickets were sold from a shop in front of the station; that agency arrangement ended in 2012. The current station building dates from a 1995 reconstruction, and Tōbu introduced system-wide station numbering on 17 March 2012, designating Kami-Imaichi as TN-24. The footbridge linking the two platforms was decommissioned and removed in 2024.

Notes
The station building shares space with the Nikkō City Sugi-Namiki Park Gallery, which sits beside the Edo-period Cedar Avenue of Nikkō running parallel to the line.
