Notes

Although the station's provisional name during planning was "Ōhashi-Ikejiri", it was renamed "Ikejiri-Ōhashi" two months before opening on 23 February 1977 — in part on the personal request of then Tokyu president Shōji Gotō, who reportedly said: "Ōhashi-Ikejiri is nothing memorable; Ikejiri-Ōhashi, evoking a large bridge, is better."
