History
Hanzōmon Station was opened on 9 December 1982 by the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA), as the eastern terminus of the Hanzōmon Line at the time.[1] It became a through station when the Hanzōmon Line was extended to Mitsukoshimae.
The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[2]
