Kyobashi Station opened on 24 December 1932 as the terminus of the privately built Tokyo Underground Railway's extension from Mitsukoshimae, with the Meidi-Ya grocery firm contributing toward construction costs. The line was extended to Ginza on 3 March 1934, making Kyobashi an intermediate stop, and in 1941 the route was absorbed into the wartime Teito Rapid Transit Authority. A pre-dawn ticket-hall blaze in March 1935 was the first recorded fire on a Japanese subway, and the station was damaged by Allied bombing in January 1945. Privatisation transferred the facilities to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004, and PASMO acceptance followed on 18 March 2007.

A 1935 fire at Kyobashi's ticket window was the first fire ever recorded at a Japanese subway station.
