Station Name

The station name is derived from the local place name. While the area is written as 「市ケ尾」, the station name is written as 「市が尾」. This difference arises from a policy implemented in January 1966, prior to the station’s opening, in which non-Tōyō kanji and katakana used in station names on the Tōkyū Lines were replaced with hiragana. As a result, characters such as 「ヶ」 and 「ノ」 were changed to 「が」 and 「の」, respectively.
