The station consists of two side platforms. Its platforms and facilities are typical of the Toei Subway system, offering efficient transit connections within Tokyo.
Shimura-sakaue Station opened on 27 December 1968, coinciding with the development of the Toei Mita Line to serve the growing suburban areas of northern Tokyo.
The station is situated in a historically significant area. Notably, the Shimura Ichirizuka, an Edo-period distance marker on the old Nakasendo Highway, is just a one-minute walk from the station. This marker highlights the area's historical role as a post station, connecting Edo (now Tokyo) to Kyoto and supporting the prosperity of Itabashi through the flow of travelers and merchants.
The Shimura district is also known for its proximity to other local landmarks, such as Yakushino Izumi Garden
