History
Yoyogi Station opened on 23 September 1906 as a Kōbu Railway stop in Yoyogi, Shibuya, Tokyo, only days before the Kōbu Railway was nationalised on 1 October. With the renaming of the Shinagawa Line as the Yamanote Line on 16 December 1909, Yamanote services began calling here as well. The platforms were rebuilt at their present location on 5 December 1924 — three faces serving four tracks on viaduct — as part of the Harajuku–Shin-Ōkubo opening of the Yamanote freight tracks. JR East took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. The Toei Ōedo Line opened a station here on 20 April 2000, at the same time as its Shinjuku–Kokuritsu-Kyōgijō section, and on the same day JR East rebuilt the west-side station building and added a new north exit, extending the underground interchange passage that had first opened in December 1958.
Notes
From the mid-1970s through about 1990 staff each morning hung a sheet of B0-size paper beside the platform-2 staircase as a so-called "graffiti corner", and students from nearby prep schools and design colleges would gradually cover it with elaborate manga and anime sketches over the course of the day.
