History

The station opened on 29 December 1931.[2] At the time of its opening, the station was located in the Nerima district of the city of Tokyo, and the station name was prefixed with the company name "Tobu" to differentiate it from the existing Nerima Station operated by the Seibu Railway.[1]

From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tobu Tojo Line, with Tōbu-Nerima Station becoming "TJ-08".[4]
