Kokkai-gijidomae Station (国会議事堂前駅 Kokkai-gijidō-mae-eki?) is a subway station in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan, operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro. It is located adjacent to the National Diet Building (Kokkai-gijidō in Japanese).
Kokkai-gijidomae Station is served by the following lines.
The station is also connected by underground passageways to Tameike-Sanno Station, which is served by the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line and Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, and it is possible to transfer between the two stations without passing through the ticket gates.
