Location

History

Omotesandō Station traces its lineage to 18 November 1938, when the Tokyo Rapid Railway opened Aoyama-rokuchōme Station about 180 metres southwest of the present site; it became a through station on 20 December the same year and was renamed Jingūmae on 16 September 1939 after through-running with the Tokyo Underground Railway began. Operations passed to the Teito Rapid Transit Authority on 1 September 1941. The Chiyoda Line platforms opened on 20 October 1972, taking the present name, and the Hanzōmon Line platforms followed on 1 August 1978, when the Ginza Line moved into its current shared layout. Tokyo Metro inherited the station on 1 April 2004, and the Echika Omotesandō retail concourse opened on 2 December 2005.

Notes

Scenes of Sofia Coppola's 2003 film Lost in Translation were shot on Omotesandō's shared Ginza and Hanzōmon Line platforms, where the two lines meet at the same level and offer same-direction cross-platform interchange.
