Asakusa Station (浅草駅,Asakusa-eki) is a railway station in theAsakusa district ofTaitō,Tokyo,Japan, operated byTobu Railway,Tokyo Metro, andToei Subway. It forms one terminus of the original subway line in Tokyo, now theGinza Line.

There is a connecting passage from the Tobu station to the Tokyo Metro station, and a connecting passage from the Tokyo Metro portion to the Toei portion. However, there are no direct connecting passages from the Toei portion to the Tobu portion or from theTsukuba Express station to the rest of the station complex. Passengers wishing to transfer between the Toei and the Tobu stations have to walk at street level, while passengers transferring between theTsukuba Express station and the rest of the complex must also walk at street level, as the Tsukuba Express station is located 600 meters (2,000 ft) to the west of the station complex.

The Tobu Railway terminal is a surface station, which occupies a portion of theMatsuya Department Store. The station is used by local and limited express trains. Although Asakusa is the most "central" terminal of theSkytree 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 (9.3 mph) to cross theSumida River. In part due to the station's somewhat awkward location, most "Express" and "Semi-Express" services on theSkytree Line run throughOshiage to theTokyo Metro Hanzōmon Line instead of continuing to Asakusa.

Due to the track curvature that makes the eastern end of some of the platforms narrow and dangerous, platform 1 can accommodate 8-car trains, and the other platforms can only accommodate 6-car trains. Longer trains, such as the 8-car local trains terminating on platform 2, keep the doors of the two easternmost cars closed throughselective door operation.

Today's Tokyo Metro Asakusa Station was one of the first underground stations in Japan, opening on 30 December 1927 as the eastern terminal of the Tokyo Underground Railway toUeno, which was later extended to become theTokyo Metro Ginza Line.^[1]

The Tobu Railway terminal opened on 25 May 1931 as Asakusa Kaminarimon Station (浅草雷門駅). This was renamed "Asakusa Station" on 1 October 1945.^[1]

The Toei Asakusa station opened on 4 December 1960 as part of theToei Asakusa Line fromOshiage Station.^[1]

The station facilities of the Ginza Line were inherited byTokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.^[2]

PASMOsmart card coverage at this station began operation on 18 March 2007.^[3]
