History

The station underwent rebuilding work to extend the platforms approximately 135 m (443 ft) toward Ayase Station to allow ten-car through trains to operate to and from the main Chiyoda Line.^[3] New station entrances were also added.^[3] 10 car service began on March 16, 2019.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2011, the station was used by an average of 25,225 passengers daily.^[1]
