Toranomon Station (虎ノ門駅) is a subway station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line. It is located between Toranomon in Minato Ward and Kasumigaseki in Chiyoda Ward.

History

Exits of Toranomon Station on the Tokyo Rapid Railway in the late 1930s.

The station opened on November 18, 1938, as the eastern terminus of the original section of the Tokyo Rapid Railway from Aoyama-Rokuchōme (now Omotesandō). It became a through station when the line was extended to Shimbashi on January 15, 1939.

The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.
