History
Daijingūshita Station is a passenger railway station in Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, operated by the private Keisei Electric Railway on its Main Line. The station opened on 17 July 1921 and lies 26.4 km from the line's western terminus at Keisei Ueno. Originally built at ground level on two opposed side platforms, the station was rebuilt as an elevated stop in stages: the upbound (Ueno-direction) platform was raised on 27 November 2004, and the downbound (Narita-direction) platform followed on 25 November 2006. When Keisei introduced system-wide station numbering on 17 July 2010, Daijingūshita was assigned the code KS23. The station serves the immediate neighbourhood around Funabashi Daijingū Shrine, from which it takes its name.

Notes
Daijingūshita takes its name from Funabashi Daijingū, the shrine that gives the surrounding neighbourhood its identity rather than the station the area.
