Nogizaka Station, Metro station in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo, Japan.
Nogizaka Station is an underground metro stop in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo, served by the Chiyoda Line of Tokyo Metro. It has a center platform between two tracks, with several exits leading into the surrounding streets.
The station opened in 1972 as part of the Chiyoda Line's gradual expansion through central Tokyo. It was among the later stops added to the line during that decade.
The station's name comes from Nogizaka, the name of a nearby slope that gave the district its identity long before the area was developed. Today, many visitors associate the name with the pop group Nogizaka46, whose offices are close to one of the exits.
Exits A1 and A2 have elevator access, which makes the station easier to use for those with limited mobility. Checking which exit leads to your destination before leaving the platform saves time, as the exits spread across different parts of the neighborhood.
Since 2016, a specially recorded melody plays when trains depart from this station, replacing the standard signal used at most stops. This kind of custom departure tune is relatively rare in the Tokyo Metro network and tends to appear at stations with a connection to music or entertainment.
