History
The Chiyoda Line station was opened on 20 December 1969 by the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA).[2] The Yamanote Line and Keihin–Tōhoku Line station was opened on 20 April 1971 by the Japanese National Railways (JNR).[3] The Nippori–Toneri Liner station opened on 30 March 2008.[4]
The station facilities of the Chiyoda Line were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[5]
Station numbering was introduced in 2016 with Nishi-Nippori being assigned station numbers JY08 for the Yamanote line and JK33 for the Keihin-Tōhoku line.[6][7] Numbering was expanded to the Nippori–Toneri Liner platforms in November 2017 with the station receiving station number NT02.[8]
