Omotesandō Station (表参道駅 Omotesandō-eki?) is a Tokyo Metro subway station located at the intersection of Omotesandō and Aoyama-dori in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Part of the Chiyoda Line platforms extends into Shibuya.
Omotesandō Station is served by the following three lines.
There are three levels at this station:
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 change to the Hanzomon Line. Ginza/Hanzomon Line passengers must exit the station by going down to the ticket gates; they cannot go directly up to the street.
The Chiyoda Line station has one island platform and two tracks. The Ginza/Hanzomon Lines station has two island platforms and four tracks. There are same-direction cross-platform interchanges in the Ginza/Hanzomon Lines station.
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?). This makes it the only Tokyo Metro station to have been renamed twice.
