History

Kokuritsu-Kyōgijō Station is a Toei Subway Ōedo Line stop straddling the boundary between Kasumigaoka in Shinjuku ward and Sendagaya in Shibuya ward, Tokyo. It opened on 20 April 2000 as a terminus when the Ōedo Line was extended from Shinjuku, and became a through stop on 12 December 2000 when the orbital section opened. Trains originating here ceased on 2 November 2002 after the Shiodome extension. The secondary name "Tokyo Taiikukan-mae" reflects the adjacent gymnasium. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics held from 16 July to 30 September 2021, the station temporarily adopted the auxiliary name "Olympic Stadium / Tokyo Taiikukan" and a special approach melody arranged from the Make The Beat! "2020 Beat".

Notes

The platform walls carry ten Zhou-era Chinese bronze-inscription characters in tile, arranged as paired verbs for sporting motions — throw and hit, walk and run, raise and swim, jump and kick, shoot and fly.
