History
Sugamoshinden Station (SA 22) is a Tokyo Toden Arakawa Line stop in Nishi-sugamo 1-chōme, Toshima, Tokyo. It opened on 20 August 1911 when the Ōji Electric Tramway extended its line between Asukayama-jō (today Asukayama) and Ōtsuka (today Ōtsuka-eki-mae). The stop passed to the Tokyo City Tram Takinogawa Line (today the Arakawa Line) when Ōji Electric was absorbed on 1 February 1942, then was suspended in 1944 as a wartime restriction and reopened on 10 July 1946. Two opposed side platforms; the site previously housed the Ōji Electric Tramway car barn and power-house, and is today occupied by TEPCO's Ōtsuka branch.

Notes
Sugamoshinden's neighbouring TEPCO Ōtsuka office sits on the former site of the Ōji Electric Tramway's car depot and on-site power station, which once supplied electricity to the company's predecessor tramline.
