History
Ishikawadai Station opened on 28 August 1927 as Ishikawa Station on the Ikegami Electric Railway, then was renamed Ishikawa-dai on 13 April 1928. It now sits on the Tōkyū Ikegami Line in Higashi-Yukigaya, Ōta, Tokyo, 4.9 km from the line's northern terminus at Gotanda. The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks; the tracks pass over a street so pedestrians cross between platforms outside the gates. Service is operated by Tokyu Corporation, and the station is assigned code IK08. The Wikipedia entries note that Tokyo Institute of Technology (now Institute of Science Tokyo) is among the surrounding institutions.

Notes
The station opened as plain "Ishikawa Station" and only acquired the "-dai" suffix on 13 April 1928, slightly over seven months later.
