History
The station first opened on March 15, 1959, as a station on the Marunouchi Line. The Chiyoda Line platforms opened on October 20, 1972. It also became possible to transfer to the Ginza and Namboku lines via a passageway to the newly opened Tameike-Sannō Station which opened on September 30, 1997.
The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[1]
