History
Suidōbashi Station — straddling Tokyo’s Chiyoda and Bunkyō wards — opened on 24 September 1906 as a Kōbu Railway stop, becoming a state-railway facility a week later when the line was nationalised. It was redesignated Chūō East Line in 1909 and Chūō Main Line from 1911. The Toei Mita Line platform opened on 30 June 1972 as part of the original Toei Line 6 (renamed Mita Line in 1978). JR East assumed JNR operations on 1 April 1987. The two stations sit roughly 100 metres apart across the Kanda River with no underground link. Suica IC service began on 18 November 2001 and PASMO on 18 March 2007.

Notes
Since 4 July 2006 — the station's 100th anniversary — the JR East platforms have used a melody adapted from "Tōkon komete", the Yomiuri Giants fight song, in honour of the adjacent Tokyo Dome which the team calls home.
