History
Toranomon Hills Station was planned to be provisionally opened in time for the 2020 Summer Olympics, and will be fully opened by fiscal 2022.[2]
The station opened on 6 June 2020, making it the newest station on the entire Tokyo subway network. Toranomon Hills Station adopted the station number H-06, previously used by Kasumigaseki Station.[1] As a result, the station numbers for stations from Kasumigaseki to Kita-Senju were adjusted.
Toranomon Hills is the only Hibiya Line station built under the ownership of Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[3]
Surrounding areas
The station is built directly under the Japan National Route 1 (Sakurada-dori section). It is west of the Toranomon Hills Mori Tower. At the two sides adjacent to the station will be two underground station plazas, which were built during the redevelopment for the Toranomon Hills.[1]
The station is located on the west side of the Toranomon Hills commercial and residential complex which opened in June 2014, and will provide connections with a new bus and Tokyo BRT terminal also planned ahead of the 2020 Olympics.[2]
