The Ginza Line was conceived by a businessman named Noritsugu Hayakawa (早川徳次?), who visited London in 1914, saw the London Underground and concluded that Tokyo needed its own underground railway (see Ginza line map). He founded the Tokyo Underground Railway (東京地下鉄道 Tōkyō Chika Tetsudō) in 1920, and began construction in 1925.

However, two trains depart in the early morning from Toranomon, and some late-night trains from Shibuya are taken out of service at Ueno.
