History
editThe station opened on 21 December 1978, initially served by the Toei Shinjuku Line only.[3] The Tokyo Metro platforms opened on 19 March 2003.[3]
The station facilities of the Hanzōmon Line were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[4]
Surrounding area
editSumiyoshi Station is located about 15 minutes' walk away from Kinshichō Station, one of Kōtō, Tokyo's largest shopping areas and also lies in close proximity to Sarueonshi Park.
Future developments
editIn 2021, plans were announced to branch the Yurakucho line at Toyosu Station, traveling north for 4.8 km (3.0 mi) connecting up to Sumiyoshi Station. This branch line, expected to be in service in the mid-2030s, will connect Sumiyoshi Station with the region south of it.
A branch line from Toyosu Station has been planned since the early 1980s, heading north via Kameari Station (on the Jōban Line) to Noda in northwest Chiba Prefecture.[5]
