Location
History
Kokuritsu-Kyōgijō Station is a Toei Subway Ōedo Line stop straddling the boundary between Kasumigaoka in Shinjuku ward and Sendagaya in Shibuya ward, Tokyo. It opened on 20 April 2000 as a terminus when the Ōedo Line was extended from Shinjuku — its planning name had been "Kokuritsu-Kyōgijō-mae" — and became a through stop on 12 December 2000 when the whole line opened. Trains starting from here ceased on 2 November 2002, when the opening of Shiodome Station gave those services a new starting point. The secondary name "Tokyo Taiikukan-mae" reflects the adjacent gymnasium. From 16 July to 30 September 2021, covering the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, the station temporarily carried the auxiliary name "Olympic Stadium / Tokyo Taiikukan" and used a special approach melody arranged from the Make The Beat! project's "2020 Beat".
Notes
The platform walls carry ten Zhou-era Chinese bronze-inscription characters in tile, arranged as paired verbs for sporting motions — throw and hit, walk and run, raise and swim, jump and kick, shoot and fly.
