History
Zoshigaya Station opened on 14 June 2008 with the inauguration of the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line from Ikebukuro to Shibuya. It is an underground station on the fourth basement level in Toshima, Tokyo, with a single island platform serving two tracks, and is numbered F-10. The line's through-running services connect Zoshigaya to the Seibu Ikebukuro Line and Tobu Tojo Line in the north, and to the Tokyu Toyoko Line and Minatomirai Line in the south. The station's opening forced the renaming of the nearby Toden Arakawa Line's former Zōshigaya stop, which became Toden-Zōshigaya to avoid confusion with the new Tokyo Metro station.

Notes
When the Fukutoshin Line opened in 2008, the existing Zōshigaya stop on the neighbouring Toden Arakawa Line had to be renamed Toden-Zōshigaya to avoid duplicate names with this new station, which is the least-used station on the Fukutoshin Line despite serving more than 17,000 passengers a day.
