History

The station opened on February 28, 1963, as part of the Hibiya line, which then ran between Higashi-ginza and Kita-Koshigaya (on the Tōbu Isesaki Line). The Tōzai Line platforms opened on September 14, 1967.

The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[1]

TH Liner services on the Hibiya Line between Ebisu and Kuki commenced on 6 June 2020.[2]
