Shindaita Station is served by the 12.7 km Keio Inokashira Line from Shibuya in Tokyo to Kichijōji. Located between Shimo-Kitazawa and Higashi-Matsubara, it is 3.5 km from the Shibuya terminus.[1]
Only all-stations "Local" services stop at this station.
The station has two ground-level opposing side platforms on either side of the two tracks, which are side by side.[2] The station building is built above the tracks. The platforms, however, are built in a cutting, over which runs prefectural road 318 (Kannana Doori Ave (環七通り, kannana dōri)); for this reason part of the platform is located under this road. The ticket gates are located alongside the road.
Between the ticket gates and platform there is a wheelchair escalator as well as an elevator. The toilets are located on platform 1, and include a multi-purpose toilet.

Shindaita Station is only some 500 m from Shimo-Kitazawa and Higashi-Matsubara stations on either side. From the middle of the Shibuya-bound platform, one can actually see both of the neighboring stations. Perhaps because Shimo-Kitazawa is only a few minutes away on foot and because just outside the station is Kannana Dori Avenue, there is no shopping street by the station.
