Mita Station (三田駅, Mita-eki) is a subway station in Minato, Tokyo, Japan, operated by Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei). It is adjacent to Tamachi Station on the Yamanote Line and Keihin-Tōhoku Line and is a major station for commuters due to the proximity of many office and condominium developments. It is also the closest station to the main campus of Keio University.
Despite its name, the station is not located in Mita, but in the neighboring Shiba district.
Mita Station is served by the following lines.
- Toei Asakusa Line (with through services to the Keikyu Main Line, Keisei Oshiage Line, Keisei Higashi-Narita Line, and Shibayama Railway Line)
- Toei Mita Line (with through services to the Tokyu Meguro Line)
The station consists of two sets of platforms, for the Asakusa Line and Mita Line. The Asakusa Line is served by an island platform (platforms 1 and 2) located on the second basement ("B2F") level, while the Mita Line is served by two side platforms located on separate levels, with the southbound platform (platform 3) on the second basement ("B2F") level, and the northbound platform (platform 4) on the third basement ("B3F") level.
