editThe Chiyoda Line station opened on 20 December 1969.[1] The Yamanote Line station opened on 20 April 1971.[2] The Nippori-Toneri Liner station opened on 30 March 2008.[3]
The station facilities of the Chiyoda Line were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[4]
Station numbering was introduced in 2016 with Nishi-Nippori being assigned station numbers JY08 for the Yamanote line and JK33 for the Keihin-Tōhoku line.[5][6] Numbering was expanded to the Nippori-Toneri Liner platforms in November 2017 with the station receiving station number NT02.[7]
