History

Hanzōmon Station opened on 9 December 1982, as the eastern terminus of the Hanzōmon Line at the time. It became a through station when the Hanzōmon Line was extended to Mitsukoshimae.

The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.
