History
Togoshi Station opened on 15 November 1968 as part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation's Toei Line 1 in Shinagawa, Tokyo. The provisional name during planning was 'Chikatetsu Togoshi-Ginza'. The route was renamed Toei Asakusa Line on 1 July 1978. PASMO IC cards became usable on 18 March 2007, and joint commuter-pass operation with Tokyu's Togoshi-Ginza Station on the Ikegami Line began on 1 April 2017. From 1927 to 1936 an unrelated station on the present Tokyu Ōimachi Line, today's Shimo-Shimmei, also carried the name 'Togoshi Station', a coincidence that explains the area's repeated 'Togoshi' naming.

Notes
The station shares its 'Standard Second-Keihin Type' subway layout with neighbouring Nakanobu and Magome, although shallower utility ducts between the concourse and platform levels at Togoshi and Nakanobu force minor interior variations.
