Ōi Keibajō Mae Station (Japanese: 大井競馬場前駅, Hepburn: Ōi Keibajō-mae-eki; lit. 'In front of Ohi Racecourse station') is a station on the Tokyo Monorail in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan.
Lines
Ōi Keibajō Mae Station is served by the Tokyo Monorail Haneda Airport Line between Monorail Hamamatsuchō station in central Tokyo and Haneda Airport Terminal 2 station, and lies 7.1 kilometres (4.4 mi) from the northern terminus of the line at Hamamatsuchō.[1]
History
Ōi Keibajō Mae Station opened on 27 May 1965 as the first of several infill stations on the monorail line.[1] However, because land reclamation had not yet reached the beamway, the station was built as a temporary platform suspended above the water and used only on event days at Ohi Racecourse. It was replaced by a permanent structure two years later, and the reclaimed land around it was eventually developed into the Yashio Park Town housing complex.[2]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2011, the station was used by an average of 8,537 passengers daily.[1]
Surrounding area
The station is located next to the Ōi Racecourse (after which it is named), and is also used by commuters from the nearby Yashio housing development.
