History

Akebonobashi Station is a Toei Shinjuku Line subway stop in Shinjuku, Tokyo, operated by Toei Subway under station number S-03. The underground station opened on 16 March 1980 as part of the Shinjuku Line's first eastward extension. It consists of two side platforms, with Platform 1 serving westbound trains for Shinjuku, Sasazuka and Hashimoto, and Platform 2 serving eastbound trains for Bakuro-yokoyama and Motoyawata. The station sits directly beneath Akebonobashi, the bridge at the Gaien-Higashi-dōri/Yasukuni-dōri intersection, and provides walking access to the Ministry of Defense, Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital and Chuo University's Ichigaya campus.

Notes

The shopping street running west from the station is still informally called "Fuji Television-dori" after the broadcaster whose headquarters stood here before its 1997 move to Daiba.
