The station opened on November 18, 1938, as the eastern terminus of the original section of the Tokyo Rapid Railway from Aoyama-Rokuchōme (now Omotesandō). It became a through station when the line was extended to Shimbashi on January 15, 1939.

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