History

The Hanzomon Line station opened on 26 January 1989.{{cite book | last = Terada | first = Hirokazu |script-title=ja: データブック日本の私鉄 |trans-title=Databook: Japan's Private Railways | publisher = Neko Publishing | date = July 2002 | location = Japan | pages = 214–215| isbn = 4-87366-874-3}}

The station facilities of the Hanzomon Line were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.{{Cite web |date=2006-07-08 |title=「営団地下鉄」から「東京メトロ」へ |trans-title=From "Teito Rapid Transit Authority" to "Tokyo Metro" |url=https://www.tokyometro.jp/news/s2004/2004-06.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120516041232/http://www.tokyometro.jp/news/s2004/2004-06.html |archive-date=16 May 2012 |access-date=29 May 2022 |website=Tokyo Metro Online}}
