History
editThe present-day JR East station opened on 15 November 1928.[2]
The station facilities of the Tozai, Namboku and Yurakucho Lines were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[3]
In 2014, it was announced that the JR East platforms were to be moved and rebuilt approximately 200 m southwest to reduce platform gaps on a sharply curved section of the platform.[4][5] The new platforms, along with a new west station building, opened on July 12, 2020.[6] In 2022, a large-scale renovation and redevelopment of the station and its environs was launched. With completion scheduled for 2026, the "Iidabashi Station East Area Redevelopment Project" will add a 24-floor mixed-use building to the station complex, containing residential, commercial, and shopping space as well as restaurants.[7]
