Lines

Ōyama Station is served by the Tobu Tojo Line from Ikebukuro in Tokyo. Located between Shimo-Itabashi and Naka-Itabashi, it is 3.0 km from the Ikebukuro terminus.[2] Only "Local" (all-stations) services stop at this station, with eight trains per hour in each direction during the daytime.[3]

Station layout

The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. The station has three entrances: the south and east entrances adjoining platform 1, and the north entrance adjoining platform 2. Access between the platforms is provided by a footbridge at the west (down) end of the platforms and also be a separate footbridge with lift access. Toilet facilities are provided on both platforms.

2 TJ Tobu Tojo Line for Shimo-Itabashi and Ikebukuro

History

The station opened on 25 August 1931.[2]

From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tobu Tojo Line, with Ōyama Station becoming "TJ-04".[4]

Future plans

On 28 July 2022, a grade separation project will result in the facilities being transitioned to a new elevated station structure.[5] The project, which aims to elevate 1.6 km (0.99 mi) of the Tobu Tojo Line, is expected to cost ¥42.8 billion (2021) (US$389.98 million) and is expected to be completed by 2030.[5] This will also result in the elimination of eight level crossings.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2010, the station was used by an average of 46,727 passengers daily.[6]
