Toranomon-hills Station (虎ノ門ヒルズ)
H06 is the newest station on the Tokyo subway. Its name was announced on 5 December 2018 and it opened on 6 June 2020, built directly under National Route 1 on the west side of the Toranomon Hills complex, with an underground plaza on either side of it created by the redevelopment above. It had been intended to open in time for the 2020 Olympic Games, with the rest of its works following later.
It is also the only Hibiya Line station Tokyo Metro has built as a company: every other one dates from the days of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority, which was wound up in 2004. Adding it forced a renumbering, because H06 already belonged to Kasumigaseki. When Toranomon-hills took the number, the numbers of every station from Kasumigaseki through to Kita-senju were adjusted to match. An underground passage links it to Toranomon on the Ginza Line, and the operators treat the pair as one transfer. Use has climbed quickly, from 18,846 people a day in 2020 to 64,929 in 2025.

Frequently asked questions
Because this station took it. H06 had been Kasumigaseki’s number, and when Toranomon-hills was inserted between Kasumigaseki and Kamiyacho the numbers of all the stations onward to Kita-senju had to be adjusted. Older signs and printed maps in circulation may still show the former numbering.
Its age and its ownership. Every other station on the line was built by the Teito Rapid Transit Authority before 2004; Toranomon-hills is the only one Tokyo Metro has built since becoming a company, and at its opening on 6 June 2020 it became the newest station anywhere on the Tokyo subway.
