History
The Hibiya Line station opened on March 25, 1964. The Oedo Line station opened on December 12, 2000.
The station facilities of the Hibiya Line were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[3]
In April of 2026 Roppongi station is planned as one of the test stations for Tokyo metro's new "Escalator VIP" program designating certain escalators as available only to customers who pay a nominal fee. (TBD) to help ease congestion. These escalators will run at a higher speed than the normal escalators reaching speeds of 30 kph. Complementary paper bags will be provided for passengers suffering from motion sickness. [4]
