Location
History
Kinshichō Station opened on 9 December 1894 as the Sōbu Railway's Honjo Station, in what is today Kōtōbashi 3-chōme, Sumida; the Sōbu workshops and locomotive shed followed inside the precinct in 1895. The name changed to Kinshichō on 1 May 1915. The station was levelled by the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake and again burned out in the 10 March 1945 Tokyo air-raid. The Sōbu Rapid section to Tokyo opened on 15 July 1972, making Kinshichō a rapid/local interchange. JR East took over at the 1987 nationwide breakup, Suica acceptance began on 18 November 2001, and the Tokyo Metro Hanzōmon Line platform opened on 19 March 2003.
Notes
Tōbu Railway trains ran via the Kameido Line and the Sōbu line into Kinshichō from the JR station's 1894 opening until 26 March 1910; the 2003 start of through-running with the Hanzōmon Line effectively restored Tōbu service to Kinshichō after a 93-year gap.
