The Jōban Line station opened on 25 December 1896.

The Hibiya Line station opened on 28 March 1961. The station facilities of this line were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.

The Tsukuba Express station opened on 24 August 2005.

Surrounding area

During the period between 1650 and 1873, the area was the location of the Kozukappara execution grounds. Between 100,000 and 200,000 people died here during the Tokugawa period. Near the south exit of the Tokyo Metro station, a small temple and burial ground commemorates this. Part of the burial grounds currently lie beneath the Hibiya Line tracks.

There are many cheap hotels in the area.
