The Itabashi Station ( Jap. 板橋駅 , Itabashi-eki ) is located in Itabashi in Tokyo , Japan .
history
On March 1, 1885, the station was opened as a freight station by the first private railway company in Japan, the Nippon Tetsudō ( 日本 鉄 道 , literally: "Japan Railway"). On November 1, 1906, with the nationalization of all private railway companies , the station became the property of the forerunners of the Japanese state railway . From October 12, 1909, the station was approached by the Yamanote line, which had not yet been completed in a ring, and passenger operations began. The section on which the station is located, between Ikebukuro and Akabane , was not renamed the Akabane line until July 15, 1972. Another renaming of the approaching line followed a few years later, when the Akabane line was on September 30, 1985 completely on the route of the newly opened Saikyō line .
On April 1, 1987, through the privatization of the state railway, the station became the property of JR Higashi-Nihon . On March 16, 1996, the goods operation was finally given up after 110 years and in 1999 the associated facilities of the freight yard were finally torn down.
