Ryōgoku Station opened on 5 April 1904 in what is now Yokoami, Sumida, Tokyo, under the name Ryōgokubashi; it took its current name in 1931. Today the complex is split into two operationally separate stations sharing the name: an elevated JR East stop on the Chūō-Sōbu Line and an underground Toei Subway stop on the Ōedo Line that opened on 12 December 2000. Passengers must exit through ticket gates and pay separate fares to transfer between them. A vestigial third platform on the JR side, used only for occasional special services, survives from the period when the station served as a terminus.

The station sits next to the Ryōgoku Kokugikan sumo arena and the Edo-Tokyo Museum; a memorial to victims of the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake is also in the immediate neighbourhood.
