It is the fourth-busiest Tokyo Metro station after Ikebukuro, Kita-senju and Ōtemachi.

History

Ginza Station opened in March 1934 as part of an extension of the Tokyo Underground Railway line (now the Ginza Line) from Asakusa. The Marunouchi Line began service to Ginza in December 1957, and the Hibiya Line platforms opened in February 1963.

The Hibiya Line platform, which runs east-west between the north-south Ginza Line and Marunouchi Line platforms, was actually built before World War II as part of a planned TUR line to Shinjuku.
