Location
History
Inarichō Station opened on 30 December 1927 with the inaugural Ueno–Asakusa section of the Tokyo Underground Railway. On 1 September 1941 the operator's lines were transferred to the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (Eidan) under wartime land-transport rationalisation. The name comes from Minami-Inarichō in the former Shitaya Ward, where the station originally stood; the "inari" element refers to the nearby Shitaya Shrine. A 1964 residential-address reform renamed the surrounding district Higashi-Ueno 3-chōme but the station name was left unchanged. The station was placed under contract operation in February 2003 and passed to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004 at the privatisation of Eidan. PASMO IC cards were accepted from 18 March 2007, and an original departure melody composed by Yoshiyuki Usui for this station has been used since 17 June 2015.
Notes
Inarichō's Exit 3 has been in use with its original structure and design unchanged since the station opened on 30 December 1927, and the station records the lowest daily passenger figures of any station on the Ginza Line.
