Location
History
Sakuradamon Station is a Tokyo Metro Yūrakuchō Line stop in Kasumigaseki 2-chōme, Chiyoda ward, numbered Y-17 and named after the Sakurada Gate of Edo Castle — one of the castle's thirty-six mitsuke — which stands beside the Imperial Palace next to the station. It opened on 30 October 1974 as a Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) station on the Yūrakuchō Line's first section, with the magnetic-stripe tickets that supported the new automatic gates at the two terminals, Ikebukuro and Ginza-itchōme, already on sale here from day one. The station was inherited by Tokyo Metro at the TRTA privatisation on 1 April 2004, gained PASMO support on 18 March 2007, and switched on platform-edge doors on 11 February 2012. A connecting track between Sakuradamon and Nagatachō reaches the Chiyoda Line at Kasumigaseki, enabling rolling-stock transfers to the Ayase depot.
Notes
The basement-one level once housed the Sakuradamon Control Office, which ran train operations across the Yūrakuchō and Hanzōmon lines until consolidated dispatching moved to the Koishikawa depot in 1994.
