Asakusa Station opened on 30 December 1927 with the inaugural 2.2-kilometre Asakusa–Ueno line of the Tokyo Underground Railway — today's Tokyo Metro Ginza Line — East Asia's first full-scale subway, and roughly 100,000 people are said to have ridden the line on its opening day. On 25 May 1931 Tōbu Railway opened its own terminus alongside as Asakusa-Kaminarimon, with Matsuya Asakusa built into the station building as Tokyo's first terminal-style department store. The Tokyo Underground Railway was transferred to the Teito Rapid Transit Authority on 1 September 1941. The Tōbu station was renamed Asakusa on 1 October 1945, after wartime air-raids gutted the building. The Toei Subway Line 1 — renamed the Asakusa Line in 1978 — opened on 4 December 1960, making the site a three-operator interchange. Both the Tokyo Metro and Tōbu stations were included in the 100-best-stations-of-Kantō selection in October 1997.

Asakusa's Exit 4 "Red Gate", a temple-style roof evoking the Asakusa Kannon at the foot of Azuma Bridge, was chosen from a prize design competition run by the original Tokyo Underground Railway and is now recognised both as a Modernisation Industrial Heritage item and as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property.
