History
Ikegami Station opened in October 1922 as a station of the Ikegami Electric Railway, the precursor of today's Tōkyū Ikegami Line, in Ōta, Tokyo. It sits close to the temple complex of Ikegami Honmon-ji, a Nichiren-sect head temple that has historically drawn pilgrim traffic to the area. The current layout consists of two ground-level side platforms. The Ikegami Sta. mae bus stop in front of the station is served by Tōkyū Bus routes to Ōimachi, Ikegami Garage, Shinagawa, Ōmori, Ōmori Garage, Kamata, Rokugōdote, Senzokuike and Den-en-chōfu stations, along with a Kami-Ikegami loop service, making the station a small but well-connected node in southern Ōta's transit network.
