Kamiyacho Station (神谷町)
Kamiyacho is named after a district that no longer exists: Shiba-Kamiyacho was absorbed into Toranomon when addresses were redrawn on 1 September 1977, thirteen years after the station opened on 25 March 1964. The plan of 1925 that first sketched a line through here had called the stop Nishikubo. Its two side platforms are on the second basement level with the concourse above, and they were widened once the office towers went up around them in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The result is a station with no interchange that behaves like a major one: 114,275 entries and exits a day in the 2025 survey, 26th on the whole Tokyo Metro network and the highest figure of any Hibiya Line station that meets no other line. Reserved-seat TH Liner services call here in one direction only, from the Kuki side, and passengers may board or leave them without a seat ticket. The station has seen hard days too: a fire broke out on a train here on 27 January 1968, and it was one of those caught up in the sarin attack on the subway of 20 March 1995.
Finding Kamiyacho 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 Kamiyacho
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.
