History
Naka-Itabashi Station opened on 12 July 1933 in Itabashi, Tokyo, on the Tobu Tojo Line. The site had operated as a summer-only temporary halt since 1926, established to serve the Itabashi Yusen-en bathing facility nearby and reopened each season until permanent service began in 1933. Two island platforms serve four tracks: the inner pair is the through main line and the outer pair are passing tracks, with most local trains scheduled to be overtaken here by express services. Tobu introduced Tojo Line station numbering on 17 March 2012 with Naka-Itabashi designated TJ-05. The south side of the station was modernised with multi-functional toilets and a platform elevator as part of accessibility upgrades.

Notes
The station's name is purely geographical — it sits between Kami-Itabashi on the old Kawagoe Highway and Shimo-Itabashi on the old Nakasendo, but no historical "Naka-Itabashi" post-town ever existed; the neighbourhood name was only created in 1957.
