Yotsuya Station opened on 9 September 1894[2] as a station on the Kobu Railway, the forerunner of the Chūō Line which was nationalized in 1906. Although the line was originally single-track, the section passing through Yotsuya was double-tracked in 1895 and quadruple-tracked in 1929.
The Marunouchi Line station opened on 15 March 1959, and the Namboku Line station opened on 26 March 1996.[1] Yotsuya was the southern terminus of the Namboku Line until the opening of Tameike-Sannō Station in 1997.
The station facilities of the Marunouchi and Namboku Lines were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[3]
