Location
History
Minowa Station opened on 28 March 1961 as one of the five original stations on the first Naka-Okachimachi to Minami-Senju segment of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority's Hibiya Line. The station passed to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004, when the TRTA was privatised. PASMO acceptance began on 18 March 2007, and a departure-melody system was introduced on 7 February 2020 with custom jingles composed for each of the two tracks. An accessibility upgrade installing a second elevator linking the No. 2 exit gate to street level entered service on 30 June 2012, and the No. 3 exit was refurbished in 2011.
Notes
A 1970s plan to extend Tokyo's Ginza Line east from Asakusa to Minowa appears in city planning records, but the project was struck from the official transport-policy roadmap in 1985 and the segment remains frozen on paper.
