History
In the past, the area was served by Tram Line 13, which was abolished in 1970. After that, there was no alternative rail connections and was instead served by Toei Bus. Afterwards, a new station along the new Toei Line 12 (now known as the Oedo Line) was to be constructed just halfway between Wakamatsucho and Kawatacho.
The closest station to Fuji TV was Akebonobashi Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line.
