Station layout
The Hibiya and Tōzai lines cross perpendicularly at the station and so do their platforms. The Hibiya Line has two side platforms with southbound trains using track 1 and northbound trains using track 2. In contrast, the Tōzai Line has a single island platform with tracks on either side; platform 3 serves eastbound trains whilst platform 4 serves westbound trains.
History
The station opened on February 28, 1963 as part of the Hibiya line, which then ran between Higashi-Ginza and Kita-Koshigaya (on the Tōbu Isesaki Line). The Tōzai Line platforms opened on September 14, 1967.
