• Toden Arakawa Line: Toden-zoshigaya ⇄ Gakushuinshita

Kishibojin-mae Station (SA 27) is a Tokyo Toden Arakawa Line stop in Zōshigaya 2-chōme, Toshima, Tokyo. It opened on 12 November 1925 as the terminus of the Ōji Electric Tramway's extension from Ōtsuka-eki-mae, and was extended further to Omokagebashi on 25 December 1928. It became a Tokyo City Tram Wasada Line (today's Arakawa Line) stop when Ōji Electric was absorbed on 1 February 1942, was suspended in 1944 during wartime restrictions, and resumed on 10 July 1946. On 14 June 2008 it became a transfer station for the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line Zōshigaya Station, which lies directly beneath. Two opposed side platforms.

The stop's reading 'Kishibojin-mae' uses 'bojin' (with voiced 'b'), but the nearby Hōmyō-ji Kishimojin Hall is read 'Kishimojin' — and uses an unusual character variant for 鬼 that lacks the first stroke, in keeping with the legend that the goddess shed her horn after being persuaded by the Buddha to renounce demonic ways.
