Shimbashi sits on the site of Japan's first railway, opened on 14 October 1872 between an earlier Shimbashi Station (later renamed Shiodome) and Yokohama. The present-day Shimbashi opened on 16 December 1909 as Karasumori Station on what is now the Yamanote Line. When Tokyo Station opened in 1914 and the Tōkaidō Main Line was rerouted, Karasumori was renamed Shimbashi and the original Shimbashi became Shiodome freight yard. Asia's first subway reached Shimbashi in 1934; the Tokyo Rapid Railway followed in 1939, with the two operators merging in 1941 to form today's Ginza Line. The Toei Asakusa Line arrived in 1963 and the elevated Yurikamome terminus opened in 1995. A reconstruction of the original station building opened in 2003.

When the Tokyo Rapid Railway opened its own platform at Shimbashi in January 1939, it was used for only about eight months: through running with the Tokyo Underground Railway began that September and the separate platform was closed, though the line itself carried on. The platform was never removed and survives today as a siding, its surface sitting about 15 centimetres above the floor level of current Ginza Line cars.
