History
Nezu Station opened for revenue service on 20 December 1969 under the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) as a stop on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line. Because surface streets along the Shinobazu-dōri / Dōkanyama-dōri / Otakebashi-dōri corridor between Nezu and Machiya were too narrow for side-by-side bores, the tunnel and the stations within it were built in a vertically stacked configuration; at Nezu, platform 1 sits 10.0 metres below grade and platform 2 sits 15.8 metres below it. Operations transferred from TRTA to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004. Suica/PASMO acceptance began on 18 March 2007. Custom departure jingles were introduced on 27 October 2018, and platform-edge doors were installed in 2020.

Notes
A small Metro lending library is housed in a case shaped like a Chiyoda Line 6000 series car body, sitting in the concourse for passengers to borrow paperbacks.
