History
Narimasu Station opened on 1 May 1914 with the inauguration of the Tōjō Railway's Ikebukuro–Tanomezawa section, today's Tōbu Tōjō Main Line, in Itabashi, Tokyo. On 24 June 1983 the Teito Rapid Transit Authority opened Eidan Narimasu Station (now Chikatetsu-Narimasu) directly beneath National Route 254 just outside the south exit, and the two operators ran a formal interchange arrangement until August 1987. Between 2015 and March 2016 the area around the ticket gates and a former Tōbu Store site at the south exit were redeveloped together, opening on 25 March 2016 as the EQUiA Narimasu retail complex. The north side, which once dropped some seven metres from the station forecourt to the streets below, was rebuilt in stages from 1988, producing a rotary, bus terminal and the ACT and Aries mixed-use buildings.

Notes
The MOS Burger outlet at the south exit, opened on 12 March 1972, is the chain's very first store; to mark its 50th anniversary in March and April 2022 the station name signs were temporarily redecorated to read "Narimosu" in a tie-up between MOS Burger and Tōbu Railway.
