History
Ushigome-yanagichō Station opened on 12 December 2000 as a Toei Ōedo Line stop in Haramachi 2-chōme, Shinjuku, on the route inherited from the former Toden tram service 13 between Shinjuku and Suitengūmae that closed in 1970. Although the working name in planning had been simply Yanagichō, the station was finally named Ushigome-yanagichō for the Ichigaya-Yanagichō neighbourhood of the old Ushigome ward it sits under and for the Ushigome-Yanagichō tram stop on whose site it was built; the underground island platform sits beneath the Ichigaya-Yanagichō crossing of Ōkubo-dōri and Gaien-Higashi-dōri. PASMO acceptance began on 18 March 2007, and a new south-east exit with elevator entered service on 9 September 2017.
Notes
Toei's opening forecast put boardings at about 7,000 a day; by fiscal 2024 the station was averaging 19,954 daily entries and exits, of which 10,098 were boardings.
