Omote-sandō Station

Omote-sando Station is served by the following three lines.

• Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line (C-04)
• Tokyo Metro Ginza Line (G-02)
• Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line (Z-02)

There are three levels at this station:

• B1: Ginza and Hanzomon Line platforms
• B2: Ticket hall / ticket gates / main concourse
• B3: Chiyoda Line platforms

All platforms are wheelchair accessible. There is same-direction cross-platform interchange between the Ginza and Hanzomon lines, making this a convenient transfer point on the Aoyama-dōri section of these lines. Passengers who wish to change to the JR lines or the Keio Inokashira Line at Shibuya often change to the Ginza line here; those who want the Tokyu Toyoko Line, the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line or the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line often change to the Hanzomon Line. While both the west-bound Ginza and Hanzomon Line goes to Shibuya station, they have separate fare control area at Shibuya, making transfers inconvenient.

The station was opened as the terminus of the Tokyo Rapid Railway from Toranomon as Aoyama-rokuchōme Station (青山六丁目駅) on November 18, 1938, at a site approx. 180 m southwest of its current location (between the current station and Shibuya Station). It became a through station later that year when the section to Shibuya opened on December 20. When through services from the Tokyo Underground Railway (from Asakusa) began on September 16, 1939, the station became Jingūmae Station (神宮前駅).^[2] This makes it the only Tokyo Metro station to have been renamed twice.^[when?]

The Chiyoda Line platforms at Omotesando Station was opened on October 20, 1972 by the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA); the Omotesando name was used to avoid confusion with Meiji-Jingūmae Station, the next stop on the Chiyoda Line toward Yoyogi-Uehara. From 1972 to 1977, Omotesando and Jingumae were separate stations for the Chiyoda and Ginza lines respectively. In 1977, the Ginza Line moved to a temporary station on the northeast side of Omotesando Station, pending completion of the Hanzomon Line platforms. The new platforms for the Hanzomon Line and Ginza Line opened on August 1, 1978. The space used for the old Jingumae Station remains visible from the Ginza Line tunnel as of 2015.^[2]

Scenes of the 2003 film Lost in Translation were filmed there at the Hanzōmon and Ginza lines platform.^[3]

The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the TRTA in 2004.^[4]

PASMO smart card coverage at this station began operation on 18 March 2007.^[5]
