History
Kajiwara Station (SA 14) is a Toden Arakawa Line tram stop in Kami-Nakazato 3-chōme, Kita-ku, Tokyo. It opened on 1 April 1913 as Asukayama-shita Station, the original terminus of the Ōji Electric Tramway's first 3-km section from Mi-no-wa (today Mi-no-wabashi); on 31 October 1913 the line was extended to Yamashita Station (today Sakaemachi) and this stop was renamed Kajiwara. It became part of the Tokyo City Tramway on 1 February 1942 when the Ōji Electric Tramway was sold to Tokyo City.
Notes
Until 2021 a small antiquarian bookshop called Kajiwara Shoten — long claimed as 'Japan's bookshop closest to a station' — adjoined the Waseda-bound platform. Its founder's eldest son Yasuhiro Nemoto was a JRA-graduate jockey who won the Tokyo Yūshun and several other GI races, and was later a trainer until February 2026.
