History
Musashi-Nitta Station serves the Tokyu Tamagawa Line in the Yaguchi neighbourhood of Ota, Tokyo, and is operated by Tokyu Corporation under station number TM05. It first opened on 1 November 1923 as Nitta Station on the Meguro-Kamata Electric Railway, taking its name from the nearby Nitta Shrine. The qualifier Musashi, drawn from the historical Musashi Province, was added on 1 April 1924 to distinguish the station from other Nitta-named stops elsewhere in Japan. Automatic ticket gates and fare-adjustment machines were installed in March 1997, and on 6 August 2000 the former Mekama Line was split into the Tamagawa Line and the Meguro Line, placing the station on the Tamagawa Line.

Notes
Each platform has its own ticket gate and the two are not connected inside the fare-paid area, so passengers cannot switch sides without exiting the station.
