Location

History

Kita-Senju Station opened on 25 December 1896 as a stop on Nippon Railway's Tsuchiura Line, in what is now Adachi Ward, Tokyo. Tobu Railway's inaugural Isesaki Line began service through the station on 27 August 1899, after which it remained a two-operator interchange for more than sixty years. The Teito Rapid Transit Authority's Hibiya Line platform opened on 31 May 1962 with through running to the Tobu Isesaki Line, and the same authority's Chiyoda Line followed on 20 December 1969. Following the privatisation of TRTA in 2004 those facilities passed to Tokyo Metro, and on 24 August 2005 the Tsukuba Express opened its own elevated station, completing today's five-line interchange.

Notes

The station's 1962 reconfiguration introduced a two-island Tobu–Hibiya shared platform where the outer tracks served Tobu services and the inner tracks served the Hibiya Line, allowing same-direction transfers across the platform face.
