Shiki Station, Railway station in Niiza, Japan
Shiki Station is an elevated railway station in Niiza featuring two island platforms that serve four tracks. The main building stands perpendicular above the rails and forms the central hub of the location.
The station opened on May 1, 1914 as part of the Tojo Railway expansion from Ikebukuro. This starting point marked a new phase of connectivity for the region.
The station was relocated in 1970 to serve students from Rikkyo High School more directly. This move reflects how transportation infrastructure in Japan connects closely with educational institutions.
The station provides easy access to platforms through stairs and elevators for visitors. Multiple train and bus lines offer convenient connections to destinations in several directions.
Station number TJ-14 connects to Shibuya through the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line. Since June 2008, this allows through-train services that reach major Tokyo centers without transfers.
