Upon opening a 3-car shuttle service operated to Ayase Station. From March 16, 2019, after platforms were lengthened, 10-car trains commenced operation allowing direct services to Yoyogi-Uehara.[1]
Services on the Kita-ayase branch consist of a combination of shuttle services to Ayase and through services to Yoyogi-Uehara.[2]
The station has a single elevated side platform serving one track. The platform is now 10 cars long.
Kita-Ayase Station opened on 20 December 1979.[3]
The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[4]
The station underwent rebuilding work to extend the platforms approximately 135m (443feet) toward Ayase Station to allow ten-car through trains to operate to and from the main Chiyoda Line.[5] New station entrances were also added. 10 car service began on March 16, 2019.[6]
In fiscal 2011, the station was used by an average of 25,225 passengers daily.[3]
