History
Shin-Itabashi Station opened on 27 December 1968 as part of the inaugural section of the Toei Subway Line 6 in Itabashi, Tokyo. The line was rebranded as the Mita Line on 1 July 1978, and IC card (PASMO) compatibility was introduced on 18 March 2007. The underground station has a single island platform serving two tracks, with a turnback siding on the Nishi-takashimadaira side that has been used to stable the last train from Shirokane-takanawa overnight. Despite very close proximity to JR Saikyō Line's Itabashi Station — about five minutes' walk — interchange status was not formally announced by Toei until a 2018 broadcasting update.
