History
Sendagi Station opened on 20 December 1969 in Bunkyō, Tokyo, as an underground station on the then-new Chiyoda Line. The line was operated by the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA), which was privatised in 2004 to become Tokyo Metro; the station and its facilities passed to the new operator at that point. Sendagi has two side platforms located on separate levels, with the station number C-15. The neighbourhood served by the station is a quiet, low-rise residential pocket of central Tokyo, with the historic Yanaka Cemetery and Nippon Medical School both within walking distance and Dōkan-yama hill just to the south.

Notes
Sendagi is one of the few central-Tokyo metro stations laid out as two stacked side platforms on different levels rather than as a single island or pair of opposed platforms — a consequence of squeezing tunnels under the narrow Yanaka streetscape above.
