History
Ayase Station (綾瀬駅) opened on 1 April 1943 as a Ministry of Railways station on the Joban Line, for passengers only. It was first built at a different spot, nearer Kita-Senju than the present site. On 1 June 1949 the Japanese National Railways was formed. On 1 February 1968 the station was moved a short distance toward Kameari. The Teito Rapid Transit Authority built the station facilities. But at that time all Joban Line trains temporarily used the tracks that would later become the local line and Chiyoda Line. The old track bed was being raised to make express tracks. So the national railway leased the station and ran it temporarily, with national railway signs.
On 1 April 1971 passenger operations passed to the Teito Rapid Transit Authority. On 20 April 1971 the Chiyoda Line station opened here, and operating duties also passed to the Teito. Signs were updated to the Teito style. On 20 December 1979 the Chiyoda Line branch from Ayase to Kita-Ayase opened. On 14 March 1985 a new platform numbered zero came into use, and Kita-Ayase trains moved to it from the second and third platforms. On 31 March 1987 freight handling began. On 1 April 1987, when national railways were split up, the station became a station of JR East and JR Freight.
On 23 March 2002 platform doors came into use on the zero platform, at Kita-Ayase and Ayase stations. On 3 December 2002 the commercial facility M'av AYASE Lieta opened under the east-side viaduct. Suica could be used at JR East from 10 December 2002. On 1 April 2004 the Teito Rapid Transit Authority was privatised, and its Chiyoda Line stations passed to Tokyo Metro. PASMO could be used on Tokyo Metro from 18 March 2007.
On 27 October 2018 departure melodies were introduced on all platforms. On 16 March 2019 a timetable change began through service from Kita-Ayase toward Yoyogi-Uehara. On 7 March 2020 platform doors came into use on all four platforms. On 1 October 2025 JR East started its Eki-net Q Ticket service.
