History

Satsukidai Station opened on 1 June 1974 as a Tama Line stop on the Odakyu Electric Railway, perched at the top of a hill in the Gorikida district of Asao-ku, Kawasaki. It was made a Section Semi-Express stop in December 2004 and the building was refurbished in March 2006 with new elevators. Solar-panel canopies were installed over the platforms in January 2006 to power the ticket machines and automatic gates. The station became a semi-express stop with the March 2014 timetable revision, but Tama Line semi-expresses were withdrawn on 17 March 2018, leaving only locals, until the March 2025 timetable made Satsukidai an express stop and brought Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line through services to it. The station was assigned the number OT01.

Notes

The name "Satsukidai" was coined: the place-name Gorikida was deemed unromantic, so planners blended the "go" character from Gorikida with the "dai" of the now-obsolete neighbourhood Ōdai and dressed it up with imagery of bright May ("satsuki"). The surrounding land has not adopted the new name.
