History
Ningyōchō Station opened on 31 May 1962 as a Teito Rapid Transit Authority Hibiya Line stop. A separate Toei 1-go Line station (renamed Asakusa Line in 1978) followed on 30 September 1962, with the two operators sharing ticket counters from the outset. When the Asakusa Line opened, Ningyōchō was its eastern terminus toward Oshiage; the line toward Nihombashi was used for stabling. The Hibiya Line passed to Tokyo Metro at the April 2004 privatisation, PASMO support began on 18 March 2007, and a dedicated inter-line transfer gate plus IC-card through-passage service entered use on 1 April 2017. Connecting service to Suitengūmae on the Hanzōmon Line was added on 17 March 2018.

Notes
Ningyōchō and the Hanzōmon Line's Suitengūmae are only 300 metres apart; an inter-station transfer was finally added in March 2018, more than fifty years after the two stations opened.
