History

The station was planned to be provisionally opened in time for the 2020 Summer Olympics, and will be fully opened by fiscal 2022.[2]

By its opening in 6 June 2020, Toranomon Hills Station will implement its station number, H-06.[1] As a result, the station numbers for stations after Toranomon Hills (Kasumigaseki to Kita-Senju) will have to be adjusted.

Surrounding areas

The station is built directly under the Japan National Route 1 (Sakurada-dori section). It is west of the Toranomon Hills Mori Tower. At the two sides adjacent to the station will be two underground station plazas, which were built during the redevelopment for the Toranomon Hills.[1]

The station is located on the west side of the Toranomon Hills commercial and residential complex which opened in June 2014, and will provide connections with a new bus and bus rapid transit terminal also planned ahead of the 2020 Olympics.[2]
