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.
