History

[edit]

Daikan-yama Station opened on 28 August 1927, 18 months after the Tokyu Toyoko line opened. On March 15, 2013, the Shibuya Station above-ground train platforms closed down to serve the new underground platforms at the same station to serve the through service from the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line through services. As a result, the line between Daikan-yama and Shibuya Stations had to be replaced with a new section of underground track. On the morning of 16 March 2013, Tokyu Corporation started construction on converting the upwards slope at Daikan-yama station downwards. This included doing the same to the tracks and platforms to accommodate the new underground section. A total of 1,200 engineers worked 3 hours and 25 minutes throughout the night to lower the slope downwards.[1][2]

Surrounding area

The station serves an area where many foreign embassies are located.

Between Shibuya and Ebisu stations, it is located on the western plateau of Shibuya on the Tōyoko Line nestled between the Meguro and Shibuya Rivers.
