• Yurakucho-Ikebukuro Line: Ikebukuro ⇄ Gokokuji

Higashi-Ikebukuro Station opened on 30 October 1974 when the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) launched the inaugural Ikebukuro-to-Ginza-itchōme section of the Yūrakuchō Line, in Toshima Ward, Tokyo. The station is built around a single island platform on the second basement level, served by two escalators and an elevator. Control passed to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004 when the TRTA was privatised, and PASMO IC-card acceptance followed on 18 March 2007. Platform-edge doors entered service on 26 February 2011 as part of a network-wide Yūrakuchō Line rollout, with departure melodies introduced exactly a month later. The Toshima Eco-Museum Town complex was connected by an underground walkway in April 2015.

Although Tokyo Metro's Fukutoshin Line passes immediately to the west, no station was built when the line opened in 2008 — but ductile rather than reinforced-concrete tunnel segments were installed in the relevant stretch to ease construction of a future Higashi-Ikebukuro Fukutoshin station.
