Location

History

Shin-ōtsuka Station opened on 20 January 1954 as a Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) stop on the Marunouchi Line in Bunkyō Ward, Tokyo. Its original platforms were just 80 m long to handle four-car consists, but a planned 40 m extension toward Ikebukuro entered service on 22 September 1960 to accommodate six-car trains. Air-conditioning was added in summer 2001, control passed to Tokyo Metro upon TRTA's privatisation on 1 April 2004, platform doors began operation on 18 December 2006 and PASMO IC-card acceptance followed on 18 March 2007. Until 31 March 2011 passengers could only cross between platforms by exiting to the street; an inside-the-gates connecting passage opened that day, and the two ticket gates were renamed North and South.

Notes

Refurbishment from the 2000s onward reproduced on the lower side walls of the platforms the sine-curve motif used on the Marunouchi Line's first-generation cars.
