History
Nagatachō Station is a Tokyo Metro interchange in Nagatachō 1-chōme, Chiyoda ward, hosting the Yūrakuchō Line (Y-16), Hanzōmon Line (Z-04) and Namboku Line (N-07). It opened on 30 October 1974 with the original Yūrakuchō Line section between Ikebukuro and Ginza-itchōme. The Hanzōmon Line platforms opened on 21 September 1979 as the temporary terminus from Nagatsuta on the Tōkyū Den-en-toshi Line, operating an unusual single-line service on track 3 only until the line was extended to Hanzōmon on 9 December 1982. The Namboku Line platforms followed on 30 September 1997. The station passed to Tokyo Metro at the Teito Rapid Transit Authority privatisation on 1 April 2004, and Echika Fit retail opened on 8 August 2013.
