History
Aobadai Station opened on 1 April 1966 on Tōkyū's new Den-en-toshi Line. Its provisional name had been Nariai Station after the local place-name, but the operator's September 1965 standing committee chose Aobadai to evoke the "green-leaf hilltop" character it sought for its planned communities; the area itself adopted the Aobadai name a year after the station opened. Between 1990 and 1992 the original facility was rebuilt with a new station building, a connected mall (now Aobadai Tōkyū Square), and an improved bus terminal. A second entrance, the "Square exit", was added on 5 September 2000 on the Chūō-Rinkan-bound platform. The station carries number DT20 and has two opposed side platforms in a partial cutting.

Notes
Aobadai handles the most boardings of any Tokyū station with no connecting railway — its 98,123-passenger fiscal-2024 daily average tops every other "stand-alone" Tokyū stop and even outpaces some interchange stations on the Den-en-toshi Line.
