History
Itabashi-kuyakushomae Station opened on 27 December 1968 with the inaugural section of Toei Subway Line 6 in Itabashi, Tokyo. Line 6 was renamed the Mita Line on 1 July 1978 and the station accepted PASMO IC cards from 18 March 2007. The station was kept deliberately compact at construction because plans for the adjacent Itabashi Junction of the Metropolitan Expressway Central Circular Route and an underpass on Yamate-dōri at street level above were already known, and the design had to leave room for both. From around 2003 a disaster-resilience refurbishment replaced the original tiled platform walls with panels in the same colour scheme and added a lift near the A1 exit, with further lift work continuing at the A2 and A3 exits.

Notes
True to its name, the station sits directly opposite Itabashi Ward Office and is linked to it by a dedicated underground passageway.
