History

Shin-otsuka Station opened for revenue service on 20 January 1954.

The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[1]

In the 2015 data available from Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Shin-ōtsuka → Myōgadani was one of the train segments among Tokyo's most crowded train lines during rush hour.[2]
