Location
History
Minami-Gyōtoku Station opened on 27 March 1981 as an infill stop on the Tokyo Metro Tōzai Line; a station here had been planned from the time the line itself was built, with preparatory structures on the viaduct and land for the station set aside in advance. The roughly twenty-minute journey to central Tokyo drove dense development on what had been farmland, and the new station was built to relieve crowding at the neighbouring stations and improve local access. Total construction cost was about ¥1.4 billion. The Teito Rapid Transit Authority operated the station until privatisation transferred it to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004. A renovation running from January 2011 to March 2012 added a solar power system, a membrane roof over the platform canopies, LED information signage and inverter lighting; departure melodies began on 11 June 2015.
Notes
The Tōzai Line viaduct was built with preparatory structures for this station, and land for it was set aside, from the time the line itself was under construction — years before the station finally opened in 1981.
