Nagatachō Station, Metro station in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan
Nagatachō Station is a metro hub beneath Tokyo's Chiyoda ward serving three lines: Yurakucho, Hanzomon, and Namboku. The station spans multiple underground levels with three main platforms and connecting tunnels between the different lines.
The Yurakucho Line began operations here in 1974, making it the first line at this location. The Hanzomon Line followed in 1979 and the Namboku Line arrived in 1997, turning the station into a major transit junction.
The station sits at the heart of Japan's governmental quarter and is used daily by officials, politicians, and visitors heading to the National Diet Building and Supreme Court. This proximity to major institutions shapes how locals and travelers move through the area.
Ticket machines and information centers are located on the B1F concourse level to help you get oriented. The station handles daily traffic from around 72,000 passengers, so expect crowding during rush hours and take time to understand the layout before boarding.
Underground passages connect this station directly to nearby Akasaka-Mitsuke Station without requiring passengers to pass through another ticket gate. This hidden link lets travelers transfer between two major transit hubs without stepping outside.
