History
Nijubashimae Station was opened on March 20, 1971 by the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA).
The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the TRTA in 2004.[3]
Since 17 March 2018, Nijubashimae Station has been also known as Nijubashimae Station (Marunouchi) as a secondary station name to increase awareness of the station's location in the Marunouchi area, and to encourage passengers to use the station in conjunction with the surrounding stations.[4]
