• Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line: Toranomon Hills ⇄ Roppongi

Kamiyachō Station, on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line in Minato ward, Tokyo, opened on 25 March 1964 under the Teito Rapid Transit Authority. The station carries the line code H-05 and takes its name from the historical Kamiyachō district, which was absorbed into the present Toranomon neighbourhood in 1977. On 27 January 1968 a fire broke out aboard a Tobu 2000 series train at the station. On 20 March 1995 the station was among those targeted in the Tokyo subway sarin gas attack and figured prominently in subsequent news coverage. With the 2004 privatisation of the TRTA, station operation passed to Tokyo Metro, the current operator.

The station survives in name only the former Kamiyachō district, which was merged administratively into Toranomon in 1977 — thirteen years after the station opened.
