History
A Yoga tram stop opened on 1 April 1907 on the Tamagawa Electric Railway (玉川電気鉄道). On 10 May 1969 the Tamagawa Line closed, and the stop closed with it. The station opened on 7 April 1977 on the New Tamagawa Line (新玉川線). On 16 November 1977 daytime rapid trains began running through to the Den-en-toshi Line. On 1 August 1978 through running with the Hanzōmon Line began. On 12 August 1979 it covered all trains, including local trains, all day.
In 1993 the north exit was improved alongside the Setagaya Business Square, with escalators, lifts and a bus terminal. On 17 January 1994 a road opened between Yoga Nakamachi-dori and the station, along the former tram route. Buses from Yoga Nakamachi began using the station bus terminal, and local bus routes were reorganised. On 6 August 2000 the New Tamagawa Line was merged into the Den-en-toshi Line. The down platform lift came into use in March 2001, and the up platform lift in October 2001.
On 22 June 2006 four cars of a Tokyo Metro express train touched the platform as it passed through the station. Both the train and the platform were scraped, and trains had to slow down while checks went on. A similar contact had been found at Kajigaya Station (梶が谷駅). On 18 March 2007 PASMO became usable. On 5 April 2007 the speed limit that had been in place since the year before was lifted, once the work at Kajigaya was complete. On 1 October 2009 station administration moved from Sangenjaya to Futakotamagawa.
Platform doors came into use on 11 March 2018. On 19 April 2022 the secondary station name changed from Setagaya Business Square Mae to GMO Internet TOWER Mae.
