History
Himemiya Station opened on 1 September 1927 on the Tobu Isesaki Line in what is now the town of Miyashiro, Saitama. The stop was rebuilt as an overhead station building on 13 March 2001, when lifts and escalators also entered service. Departure melodies were introduced on 11 November 2011, and station numbering TS-29 was applied on 17 March 2012 with the Tobu network-wide numbering rollout. A timetable revision on 16 March 2013 ended midday Section Semi-Express service and limited Asakusa-bound trains to morning and evening hours; midday service to and from Tokyo became Hibiya Line through trains. The station carries two opposed side platforms serving two tracks beneath the concourse.
