Location

History

Takesato Station opened on 20 December 1899 as a temporary stop on the Tōbu Railway. It was relocated to its present position in 1913, and a footbridge-style overhead station building entered service in 1969. Four elevators began operating on 24 March 2008, and departure melodies were introduced on 8 December 2011. The 16 March 2013 timetable change ended daytime Section Semi Express service, so daytime trains through Takesato came to consist of Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line through services only, with Asakusa-bound services confined to morning and evening hours.

Notes

Takesato's daily ridership peaked above 20,000 — 23,062 in fiscal 1990 — and has been in decline since the 1990s, slipping below the neighbouring Ichinowari Station in fiscal 2002.
