Although transfer is not possible, passengers may walk to nearby stations on other lines. Kyobashi Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line and Hatchobori Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line are a few minutes' walk from Takaracho.

Takaracho Station opened on February 28, 1963, on what was then called Line 1. The line took its present name in 1978.
