History

The station first opened on 23 October 1906 by a private company as a station on the Chūō Main Line, but was nationalized only a week later when the Japanese National Railways (JNR) took over the company and all of its assessments. The underground Toei Ōedo Line station opened on 20 April 2000.

Station numbering was introduced to the JR East platforms in 2016 with Yoyogi being assigned station numbers JB11 for the Chūō-Sobu line, and JY18 for the Yamanote line.
