Location

History

Awajichō Station opened on 20 March 1956, when the Marunouchi Line's Ochanomizu–Awajichō section came into service, in Kanda-Awajichō, Chiyoda, Tokyo. With construction of the Toei Shinjuku Line planned nearby, a major rebuild began in May 1975 and was completed in March 1980, when the station became a transfer point to Toei's Ogawamachi Station. The work, mostly contracted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation and costing roughly 1.134 billion yen, extended the platform 32 metres towards Ikebukuro, widened the concourse and improved the station's facilities. On 1 April 2004 the Eidan subway authority was privatised and the station passed to Tokyo Metro.

Notes

Departure melodies produced by Switch were installed when the line shifted to one-person operation, with "Safety" by Takayoshi Tanimoto on track 1 and "Eki Suite" by Naoya Fukushima on track 2.
