History

[edit]

The JR East station (originally Nippon Railway station) opened on 16 March 1885.[1] The Namboku Line and Mita Line subway station opened on 26 September 2000.[2]

The station facilities of the Namboku Line were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[3]

Half-height platform edge doors were installed on the two Yamanote Line platforms from 28 August 2010.[4]

Station numbering was introduced to the JR East platforms in 2016 with Meguro being assigned station number "JY22".[5][6]
