History
Shinjuku-gyoemmae Station opened on 15 March 1959 as a stop on the Teito Rapid Transit Authority's Marunouchi Line, named for the imperial garden it serves. The two side platforms are staggered roughly 20 metres from each other rather than facing directly across the tracks. The Marunouchi Line passed to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004 when Teito Rapid Transit Authority was privatised, and PASMO support began on 18 March 2007. Platform-edge doors were installed in December 2006 to support one-person operation introduced on 28 March 2009, and a third entrance with an elevator was opened on 11 July 2009. Every April, at cherry-blossom time, crowds of blossom viewers pass through the station, though commuters to nearby offices make up the bulk of its traffic the rest of the year.
Notes
The Ogikubo-bound (A-line) and Ikebukuro-bound (B-line) platforms are staggered roughly 20 metres apart along the tunnel rather than directly opposite each other.
