Location
History
Shirokane-takanawa Station opened on 26 September 2000 as a station shared by the Teito Rapid Transit Authority's Namboku Line and the Toei Mita Line, which run over a common section between here and Meguro; the station itself has two island platforms serving four tracks, the Mita Line using the outer pair and the Namboku Line the inner pair. The station passed to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004 at the privatisation of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority. Air-conditioning was retrofitted in summer 2003, a fourth exit serving the new Shirokane Aer City complex opened on 30 November 2005, PASMO IC cards entered service on 18 March 2007, and station-specific departure melodies replaced the generic Namboku/Mita jingle on 12 March 2015.
Notes
Provisionally named "Seishōkō-mae" during planning after the nearby Kakurin-ji temple, the station was renamed only late in the design process by combining the names of the two surrounding districts — Shirokane and Takanawa — which is why no neighbourhood named "Shirokane-takanawa" exists.
