History

Toranomon Station, on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, straddles Minato and Chiyoda wards in central Tokyo. It opened on 18 November 1938 as the eastern terminus of the original section of the Tokyo Rapid Railway running from Aoyama-Rokuchōme — today's Omotesandō. The status of eastern terminus was short-lived: on 15 January 1939, less than two months after the station's opening, the line was extended to Shimbashi, and Toranomon became a through station. With the privatisation of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority in 2004, station facilities passed to Tokyo Metro. The station has two side platforms, one per direction.

Notes

Toranomon served as the eastern terminus of the original Ginza-Line-predecessor route for less than two months before the line was extended to Shimbashi in January 1939.
