History
Minamidaira Station opened on 28 April 1926 as a station on the Tamanan Electric Railway, in the city of Hino, Tokyo. The line was absorbed by Keio Electric Tramway on 1 December 1926, and the station became part of Keio. Wartime amalgamation brought the line under Tokyo Kyūkō Dentetsu (the "Dai-Tōkyū") on 31 May 1944, and Keio Teito Electric Railway was demerged on 1 June 1948, taking over the station. The station was rebuilt with a bridge-form station building in 2011, after a 2010 station-improvement project relocated the ticket gate from underground to ground level and added new escalators and an elevator. The station carries the station number KO30 and is served by the Keio Line.
