History
Suitengūmae Station is a subway stop on the Tokyo Metro Hanzōmon Line in Chūō ward, Tokyo, numbered Z-10. It opened on 28 November 1990 as the eastern terminus when the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) extended the Hanzōmon Line from Mitsukoshimae, completing the route segment originally licensed under the Tokyo Line 11 plan. The station became a through stop on 19 March 2003 when the line was extended to Oshiage, and its facilities passed to Tokyo Metro at the TRTA privatisation on 1 April 2004. PASMO IC card service began on 18 March 2007, and from 17 March 2018 an interchange linking the station to Ningyōchō on the Hibiya and Asakusa lines was opened for transfer business.

Notes
The station was renamed from "Hakozaki" to "Suitengūmae" only four months before opening, after locals could not agree on whether the formerly proposed Hakozaki, Kakigarachō, or a name referencing the city air terminal should win out.
