• Toei Mita Line: Nishi-takashimadaira ⇄ Takashimadaira

Shin-takashimadaira Station opened on 6 May 1976 as a station of the Toei Subway (then Line 6, renamed the Mita Line on 1 July 1978), in the Takashimadaira 7-chōme district of Itabashi, Tokyo. Itabashi is a special ward in the north-west of Tokyo, founded in 1932 and reorganised as a special ward in 1947. The Itabashi article notes that the ward takes its name from a wooden bridge ("itabashi") over the Shakujii River on the old Nakasendō highway, and that the area around Takashimadaira and adjacent Shingashi and Misono corresponds to the former Tokumarugahara — a low-lying area of the old Akatsuka village.

Itabashi was the location of Itabashi-juku, one of the four major post stations of Edo (Edo-shi-shuku) — together with Naitō-Shinjuku, Shinagawa-juku and Senju-juku — and the first lodging town leaving Edo along the Nakasendō. Kaga Domain maintained one of its lower-mansion residences in Itabashi, alongside the bustle of the post-station traffic.
