History
Aoyama-Itchome Station (青山一丁目駅) opened on 18 November 1938 as a station of the Tokyo Rapid Railway (東京高速鉄道), in Aoyama Minami-cho, Akasaka ward of the then Tokyo City. On 1 September 1941, the Tokyo Rapid Railway was reorganised, and the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (Eidan) took over its management. On 27 August 1954, an extension of the Ginza Line station was decided. On 1 May 1955, to increase Ginza Line capacity, the car nearest Asakusa on four-car trains was closed off to passengers. On 1 May 1957, the platforms were extended for six-car trains, and the closed-off car was no longer needed.
On 1 August 1978, a Hanzomon Line station opened here. On 21 September 1979, the Hanzomon Line opened to Nagatacho, and this station became a midway station. Nagatacho had no turnback facility, so trains ran on one track only up to there, in an irregular single-track service. On 9 December 1982, the Hanzomon Line opened to Hanzomon, and trains ran on double track between here and Hanzomon. On 12 December 2000, a Toei Oedo Line station opened here, and the station took its present form. On 1 April 2004, the Ginza and Hanzomon Line stations came under Tokyo Metro after the Eidan was privatised. On 18 March 2007, PASMO became usable.
On 26 March 2016, Tokyo Metro and Toei started a ticket-gate pass service. On 1 April 2016, Toei reorganised its management into districts. The Oedo Line moved under the Daimon district, and an Aoyama district office was set up. On 15 August 2016, a visually impaired man walking on the Ginza Line platform with a guide dog fell from the platform onto the tracks and was struck by a train. He died. On 30 August 2018, a departure melody was introduced on the Ginza Line platform. On 8 September 2018, a departure melody was introduced on the Hanzomon Line platform.
