• Tokyu Setagaya Line: Matsubara (Tokyo)

Shimo-Takaido Station opened on 15 April 1913 as Shimo-Takaido Station on the Keiō Electric Tramway. It was renamed Nichidaimae ("in front of Nihon University") on 25 March 1938, restored to its original name on 31 May 1944 when wartime mergers folded the line into Tokyu, and remained Shimo-Takaido after the 1948 split that produced today's Keio Corporation. The Tokyu Setagaya Line platform opened on 1 May 1925, giving the station an interchange that survives today between Keio's KO07 stop and Tokyu's SG10. An overhead station building entered service in 1993 to replace separate up- and down-side buildings, and continuous grade-separation works on the Keiō Line began on 28 February 2014.

Although the Keiō and Tokyu platforms run on different operators, they share the same 1,372-mm track gauge; a now-removed connecting track once allowed wartime parts-delivery trains to run between Tokyu's Ōhashi works and Keiō's Sakurajōsui works.
