[edit] History
The station was opened as the terminus of the Tokyo Rapid Railway from Toranomon as Aoyama-rokuchōme Station on November 18, 1938. It became a through station later that year when the section to Shibuya opened on December 20. When through services from the Tokyo Underground Railway (from Asakusa) began on September 16, 1939 the station became Jingumae Station. This makes it the only Tokyo Metro station to have been renamed twice. The Chiyoda line platforms opened on October 20, 1972, prompting a second name change to "Omotesandō" (since there was a Meiji-jingūmae station on the new line, closer to the actual shrine) and the Hanzōmon Line platforms opened on August 1, 1978.

[edit] Station layout
There are three levels at this station:
- B1: Ginza and Hanzōmon line platforms
- B2: Ticket hall / Ticket gates / main concourse
- B3: Chiyoda line platforms
All platforms are wheelchair accessible. There is same-direction cross-platform interchange between the Ginza and Hanzōmon lines, making this the most convenient transfer point on the Aoyama-dōri section of these lines. Passengers who wish to change to the Tōkyū Tōyoko Line, the JR lines or the Keiō Inokashira Line at Shibuya often change to the Ginza line here; those who want the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line or the Tōkyū Den-en-toshi Line change to the Hanzōmon Line. Curiously, Ginza/Hanzōmon line passengers must exit the station by going down to the ticket gates; they cannot go directly up to the street.
