History
Kameidosuijin Station opened on 15 April 1928 on the Tōbu Kameido Line, originally sited slightly south-west of its present location in what is now Kameido 8-chōme, Kōtō, Tokyo. On 5 December 1946 it absorbed the adjacent Kitajikken Station, which had stood between Kameidosuijin and Hikifune, and the consolidated facility was moved roughly midway between the two former sites — the position it occupies today. The layout is a pair of opposed side platforms, with separate ticket gates for each direction at the Hikifune end and no in-paid-area cross-over. A new west-side gate on the Hikifune-bound platform is scheduled to enter service on 1 April 2026, after which the in-station level crossing will close.

Notes
The station platform sits 2.3 m below sea level — Tokyo's Tōbu records say that is lower than either Yatomi Station (JR Kansai Main Line / Meitetsu Bisai Line) or Kintetsu Yatomi in Aichi Prefecture, both of which are often cited as Japan's lowest at-grade railway stations.
