• Toden Arakawa Line: Oji-ekimae ⇄ Takinogawa-itchome

Asukayama Station (SA 17) is a Toden Arakawa Line tram stop in Takinogawa 1-chōme, Kita-ku, Tokyo. It opened on 20 August 1911 as Asukayama-ue, the eastern terminus of the original Ōji Electric Tramway between Asukayama-ue and Ōtsuka (today Ōtsuka-eki-mae). It was renamed Asukayama (date unrecorded), and on 17 April 1915 the line was extended to Ōji (today Ōji-ekimae). On 15 April 1923 a Tokyo City Tramway Asukayama Line connected the stop to Komagome-eki-mae. The Tokyo Metropolitan takeover on 1 February 1942 reorganised the line as the Takinogawa Line; the line was suspended in 1944 and resumed on 10 July 1946. On 1 December 1949 the Asukayama Line and Takinogawa Line were connected. The Tokyo trolleybus stop at Asukayama opened on 12 January 1957 and closed on 31 March 1968. The Asukayama Line was abolished on 18 March 1971, leaving only the Takinogawa Line.

For just over 11 years between 1957 and 1968 the stop was simultaneously a tram and trolleybus terminus, when the Toden trolleybus reached Asukayama; both lines had been suspended in 1944 and the postwar reopenings made the Asukayama complex briefly a four-mode transport hub of tram, trolleybus and bus before contracting back.
