History

The station opened on 1 May 1914 coinciding with the opening of the Tōjō Railway line from Ikebukuro.[6] At the time of its opening, the station was located in the town of Shiki (later becoming the city of Shiki).[7] In 1960, a new entrance was added on the south side of the station to improve accessibility for students of the Rikkyo High School (present-day Rikkyo Niiza Junior and Senior High School) which had recently relocated from Ikebukuro to Niiza, Saitama.[7] In 1970, to further improve access to the school, the station was moved closer to Ikebukuro, moving it across the boundary from the city of Shiki into Niiza.[7] While Niiza residents petitioned to have the station name changed, this never came about, and the name was used instead for Niiza Station on the Musashino Line, which opened in 1973.[7]

Through-running to and from Template:STN via the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line commenced on 14 June 2008.[8]

From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tōbu Tōjō Line, with Shiki Station becoming "TJ-14".[9]

Through-running to and from Template:STN and Template:STN via the Tōkyū Tōyoko Line and Minatomirai Line commenced on 16 March 2013.[10]

From March 2023, Shiki Station is no longer a Rapid Express service stop following the abolishment of the Rapid (快速, Kaisoku) services and reorganization of the Tōbu Tōjō Line services.[11] In addition, through service via the Tōkyū Shin-yokohama Line, Sōtetsu Shin-yokohama Line, Sōtetsu Main Line, and Sōtetsu Izumino Line to Template:STN, Template:STN, and Template:STN commenced.[12]

Future developments

Chest-high platform edge doors are scheduled to be added by the end of fiscal 2020.[13]Template:Update inline
