'''Roppongi Station''' is a train station located in [[Minato]], [[Tokyo]]. It is the deepest station in all of Tokyo, as low as 42 meters underground. The station is only for two lines: The [[Hibiya Line]], which opened in 1964 and has two platforms (on two tracks) at Roppongi Station. And the [[Toei Oedo line]], which also has 2 platforms on two tracks and opened in the year 2000. The Station number is N-05.
The station itself is owned by [[Tokyo Metro]] as of 2004 when the Metro privatization came into effect, but the Toei Oedo line is not part of the Tokyo Metro transportation system.
==History==
Roppongi Station was opened originally for the Hibiya Line. Once the Toei Oedo line opened, however, the station was dug much deeper in order to accommodate the additional train.
==Nearby Locations and Landmarks==
Roppongi Station is not located in a large tourist area. It is, however, the main station for a variety of embassies. The Italian, Swedish, Saudi Arabian and Spanish embassies are all located just outside the station.
[[IBM Japan]] headquarters is within walking distance of the station. Also the [[Izumi Garden Tower]], [[TV Asahi]] headquarters, and the [[Comprehensive Center for Vocational Students]]. There are also several hotels, beer gardens, massage parlors, movie theaters and department stores in the area, though the Minato area is not known for being as much of a tourist attraction as many of the other sections of Tokyo.
==Station Information==
Toilets are located on the first floor only. A little over 52,000 people pass through the Roppongi Station every day. For the Hibiya Line, the two adjacent stations are the [[Hiroo Station]] and the [[Kamiyacho Station]]. For the Toei Oedo Line, the two nearby stations are [[Azabu-jūban Station]] and [[Aoyama-itchōme Station]].
The ticket gates can be found on the basement floor.
