Asakusa Station (浅草駅 Asakusa-eki) is a railway station in the Asakusa district of Taito, Tokyo, Japan.
Contents |
The Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station is located about 600 m to the west.
The Tobu Railway terminal is a surface station that occupies a portion of the Matsuya Department Store.
The station is used by local and limited express trains. Although Asakusa is the most "central" terminal of the Isesaki Line, it is connected to the next major terminal, Kita-Senju Station, by a length of track with sharp curves, beginning with the first stretch leaving the station, where trains have to turn 90 degrees to the right at a maximum speed of 15 km/h to cross the Sumida River. In part due to the station's somewhat awkward location, many express and semi-express services on the Isesaki Line run through Kita-Senju to the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line and Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line rather than continue to Asakusa.

There is a connecting passage from the Tobu station to the Tokyo Metro Station, and a connecting passage from the Tokyo Metro Station to the Toei Station. However, there is no direct connecting passage from the Toei Station to the Tobu station, passengers wishing to transfer between the two stations have to walk at street level.
Today's Tokyo Metro Asakusa Station was one of the first underground stations in Japan, opening in 1927 as the eastern terminal of the Tokyo Underground Railway to Ueno, which was later extended to become the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line.
The Tobu Railway terminal opened in 1931 as "Asakusa Kaminarimon Station", and was renamed "Asakusa Station" in 1945.
The Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei) Asakusa station opened in 1960 as part of the Toei Asakusa Line from Oshiage Station.
