Location
History
Shintomichō Station opened on 27 March 1980 as the terminus of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority's Yūrakuchō Line extension from Ginza-itchōme; the planning name had been "Akashichō" before local lobbying produced the current title. The station became an intermediate stop when the line was extended east to Shin-Kiba on 8 June 1988. Privatisation transferred operations to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004, and PASMO acceptance began in March 2007. Platform-edge doors entered service on 29 June 2013. An official transfer connection with the nearby Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya Line began on 17 March 2018.
Notes
Because the running tunnels either side of the station were driven as a single double-track shield, the station was built without the centre columns its box-frame structure would normally need, so the platform offers an unusually open sight-line that rail-photo enthusiasts have nicknamed a "holy ground".
