Ashikagashi Station (足利市駅, Ashikagashi-eki) is a railway station in the city of Ashikaga, Tochigi, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Tōbu Railway.
Ashikagashi Station is served by the Tōbu Isesaki Line, and is located 86.8 km from the line's Tokyo terminus at Asakusa.[1]
The station consists of an elevated island platform serving two tracks.

| 2 | TI Tōbu Isesaki Line | for Ōta, Isesaki, Shin-Kiryū, and Akagi |
The station first opened on August 27, 1907, as Ashikagamachi Station (足利町駅).[2] It was renamed Ashikagashi Station (足利市駅) on August 25, 1924.[2] The station was rebuilt as an elevated station on July 23, 1980.[citation needed]
From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tōbu lines, with Ashikagashi Station becoming "TI-15".[3]
In July 2015, the station and Ashikaga Station adopted Chisato Moritaka's 1993 song "Watarasebashi" as their train melody, as the song pays homage to the town of Ashikaga.[4][5]
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 6010 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[6]
There are direct express bus services for Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Nara, Nagoya, Kanazawa, Toyama, and Sendai.
