History

Shirokanedai Station opened on 26 September 2000 when the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and the Toei Mita Line were extended south to Meguro along a shared corridor. The two operators share the tracks and station facilities, with Tokyo Metro acting as the on-site manager. Platforms passed to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004 at the privatisation of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority. PASMO IC cards entered service on 18 March 2007, and on 12 March 2015 the original generic Namboku/Mita departure jingle was replaced with station-specific melodies — "Silver Drop" on track 1 and "Terra Cotta" on track 2, both composed by Naoya Fukushima.

Notes

The platform-level shell was built using a one-off triple-bore detachable slurry-shield method — claimed as a world first — chosen to avoid disturbing the National Institute for Nature Study's groundwater after locals protested the original cut-and-cover plan.
