Minowa Station (三ノ輪駅) is a subway station in Taitō, Tokyo, Japan, operated by Tokyo Metro. It is close to Minowabashi Station on the Tokyo Sakura Tram.

History

The station opened on 28 March 1961, as part of the original five-station section of the Hibiya line from Naka-Okachimachi to Minami-Senju. The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004. In the 2015 data available from Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Minowa → Iriya was one of the train segments among Tokyo's most crowded train lines during rush hour.

Minowa Station is served by the Hibiya Line, and is 2.9 km from the northern starting point of the line at Kita-Senju. Since the opening of Toranomon Hills on 6 June 2020, the station code is H-20.
