History
Shimo-Imaichi Station opened on 7 July 1929.
From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tobu lines, with Shimo-Imaichi Station becoming "TN-23".
Future plans
A turntable is scheduled to be installed next to the station during 2016 for turning the steam locomotive to be used on steam-hauled tourist trains operating between Shimo-Imaichi and Kinugawa-Onsen from summer 2017. The turntable is to be acquired from the JR West Nagatoshi Station in Yamaguchi Prefecture. A two-stall engine shed to house the steam loco is also to be constructed adjacent to it. The station is planned to be renovated to architecturally resemble a Japanese railway station from the Showa era.
