• Toden Arakawa Line: Machiya-nichome ⇄ Arakawa-nanachome

Machiya-ekimae Station (SA 06) is a Toden Arakawa Line tram stop in Machiya 1-chōme, Arakawa-ku, Tokyo, where the line interchanges with Keisei Electric Railway's Main Line (KS04) and Tokyo Metro's Chiyoda Line (C 17) at Machiya Station. It opened on 1 April 1913 as Inarimae Station with the Ōji Electric Tramway's first section between Mi-no-wa (now Mi-no-wabashi) and Asukayama-shita (now Kajiwara). The Keisei station opened alongside on 19 December 1931. It joined the Tokyo Metropolitan Tramway (Toden) on 1 February 1942 when the Ōji Electric Tramway was sold to Tokyo City, was renamed Machiya-itchōme in 1951, gained the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line connection on 20 December 1969, and was renamed Machiya-ekimae in 1977.

The tram stop was renamed twice over its 110-year history — first to Machiya-itchōme in 1951 from the original Inarimae, and finally to its current name Machiya-ekimae in 1977 after the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line opened a station alongside.
