• Tokyu Ikegami Line: Togoshi-ginza ⇄ Hatanodai

Ebara-Nakanobu Station opened on 28 August 1927 as a station of the Ikegami Electric Railway, today's Tokyu Ikegami Line. The compound name reflects both the surrounding place name and a competing-station rivalry: Ikegami had planned to call the stop simply 'Nakanobu', but its rival Meguro-Kamata Electric Railway opened Ebara-machi and Nakanobu first, so the railway prefixed the latter name. A grade-separation project between Togoshi-Ginza and Hatanodai broke ground on 1 December 1979, and the station was relocated underground on 19 March 1989.

The 1989 underground switchover used a then-novel 'STRUM' (Shifting Track Right Under) technique that lowered an active 281-metre section of track without needing a parallel temporary alignment, a method later reused on the Toyoko Line's Daikanyama relocation.
