The Tōbu Daishi Line (東武大師線, Tōbu Daishi-sen) is a 1.0 km railway line in Adachi, Tokyo, Japan, owned and operated by Tobu Railway. It runs from Nishiarai Station to Daishimae Station.[1]
This line forms part of the proposed Tōbu Nishi-Ita Line (東武西板線, Tōbu nishi-ita-sen) which was never completed. The Tōbu Nishi-Ita line was intended to link the Tōbu Isesaki Line and Tōbu Tōjō Line to allow efficient transfer of rolling stock, and improve the service for residents along the line.

History
The line opened on December 20, 1931, as the Tōbu Nishi-Ita Line from Nishiarai to Daishimae, with a total distance of 1.1 km. Operation was suspended from May 20, 1945. Operations resumed from May 21, 1947, with the line renamed Tōbu Daishi Line.
On December 1, 1968, Daishimae station was relocated due to road extension, shortening the line by 100 m. On July 26, 1991, the track was elevated.
Wanman driver-only operation started on March 19, 2003.
