'''Omotesando Station''' (表参道駅) is a [[Tokyo subway]] station located in the heart of [[Minato]], at the intersection of [[Aoyama Street]] and [[Omotesando]].

==History==

The Omotesando Station was built in 1938 and known for one year as the [[Aoyama-rokuchome Station]] until being renamed [[Jingumae Station]] in 1939, which lasted until 1978. Later, when the [[Hanzomon Line]] was opened in 1978, the station was redubbed Omotesando to match the growing neighborhood in which it was located.

==Lines and Service==

Omotesando Station serves only Tokyo Metro and currently provides service to three separate lines including:

*The Tokyo Metro [[Chiyoda Line]]
*The Tokyo Metro [[Ginza Line]]
*The Tokyo Metro [[Hanzomon Line]]

==The Station==

The station consists of 3 separate points of entry and departure, with two main platforms, and numbered locations for each entry. The destinations are as follows:

*Chiyoda Line – Yoyogi-Uehara, Karakida
*Chiyoda Line – Kita-Senju, Otemachi, Matsudo, Ayase, Kashiwa, Toride, Abiko
*Hanzomon Line – Shibuya, Chuo-Rinkan
*Ginza Line – Shibuya
*Ginza Line – Ginza, Ueno, Asakusa, Akasaka-mitsuke
*Hanzomon Line – Oshiage, Otemachi, Kuki, Minami-Kurihashi

Within the station, travelers transferring between the Ginza Line and Hanzomon Line can easily make the switch as the two share a platform in either direction. However, there are occasionally Tobu Railway trains that run on the same tracks and have the same orange coding as Ginza Line trains causing a great deal of confusion for many travelers.

==Nearby Stations==

Travelers on all three Tokyo Metro lines in Omotesando Station can reach the following adjacent stations:

*Ginza Line – Shibuya, Gaienmae
*Chiyoda Line – Meiji-Jingumae, Nogizaka
*Hanzomon Line – Shibuya, Aoyama-itchome
