Lines

edit

Kayabacho Station is served by the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line.

Station layout

edit

The Hibiya and Tozai lines cross perpendicularly at the station and so do their platforms. The Hibiya Line has two side platforms with southbound trains using track 1 and northbound trains using track 2. In contrast, the Tozai Line has a single island platform with tracks on either side; platform 3 serves eastbound trains whilst platform 4 serves westbound trains.

History

edit

The station opened on February 28, 1963, as part of the Hibiya line, which then ran between Higashi-ginza and Kita-Koshigaya (on the Tōbu Isesaki Line). The Tōzai Line platforms opened on September 14, 1967.

The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[1]

TH Liner services on the Hibiya Line between Ebisu and Kuki commenced on 6 June 2020.[2]

Surrounding area

edit

Kayabachō Station is located at an intersection of two major streets in southern Nihonbashi (specifically Nihonbashi-Kayabachō), a neighbourhood in Chūō Ward renowned for its financial history and commercial development. The Tokyo Stock Exchange is only a few blocks west in Nihonbashi-Kabutochō.
