Aoyama-itchome Station
G04 Z03 E24 · Ginza Line, Hanzomon Line, and Oedo Line · Minato
Aoyama-itchome Station (青山一丁目)
Three lines reached this corner of Minato across sixty-two years. The Ginza Line platforms, G04, opened on 18 November 1938 under the Tokyo Rapid Railway; the Hanzomon Line followed on 1 August 1978 as Z03; and Toei’s Oedo Line, E24, arrived on 12 December 2000. The Ginza Line uses two side platforms and the Hanzomon Line a single island, and the connecting passage runs between the Hanzomon and Oedo levels – which means a change from the Ginza Line to the Oedo Line is made by way of the Hanzomon Line platform rather than directly.
Because two companies share the complex it carries two sets of numbers and two separate passenger counts, which are not meant to be added together: Tokyo Metro recorded 101,540 entries and exits a day across its two lines in 2025, and Toei 68,934 in 2024. Hanzomon Line trains here also run beyond the subway, continuing onto the Tobu and Tokyu networks, so a train on Z03 may be signed for a destination well outside the city.
Finding Aoyama-itchome on the signs
Every line gives the station its own letter-and-number code. You never have to read the Japanese name to find the right platform.
Station numbers at Aoyama-itchome
Tokyo signposts every platform, exit and train door with a letter and a two-digit number. Matching the number is faster than reading the name — and it is what you will see on the map, in announcements and on the platform edge.

Departure times come from the operators’ own GTFS timetables (ODPT GTFS Toei-Train-GTFS (version 20261009, valid 2026-03-14..2027-03-12) + TokyoMetro-Train-GTFS (version 20261008, valid 2026-09-19..2027-03-12)). Japan publishes two subway timetables: 平日 weekdays and 土休日 Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. There is no separate Sunday timetable, and the December 30 – January 3 period runs the holiday timetable.

Transfers and connections
- Subway: transfer between Ginza Line, Hanzomon Line, and Oedo Line. The Tokyo Metro lines and the Toei Subway lines belong to different companies, so a trip that uses both costs more than one operator alone — see fares.
Accessibility
- Ginza Line: Step-free elevator route street-gate-platform (official “1-route by elevator”). Street elevator at exit(s): 1, 2, 5. Operator page (checked Oct 20, 2026).
- Oedo Line: Toei: step-free “1-route” secured; 5 elevator(s) on this line. Elevator exit(s): 5. Operator page (checked Oct 20, 2026).
Taken from the operators’ own accessibility pages and nothing else. Tokyo Metro: the “1-route” (step-free street-gate-platform path by elevator, slope, stair lift or wheelchair escalator) is complete at all 180 stations; a separate list shows stations with an elevator-only 1-route. Toei: every station has elevators and a street-gate-platform “1-route” is secured.
