Tokyo Metro - Stations

Stations

See also: List of Tokyo Metro stations

There are a total of 142 “unique” stations (i.e., counting stations served by multiple lines only once) on the Tokyo Metro network, or 179 total stations if each station on each line counts as one station. Most stations are located within the 23 special wards and fall inside the Yamanote Line loop—some wards such as Setagaya and Ōta have no stations (or only a limited number of stations), as rail service in these areas has historically been provided by the Toei Subway or any of the various major private railways (大手私鉄?).

Major interchange stations, connecting three or more Tokyo Metro lines, include the following:

  • Ginza
  • Iidabashi
  • Ikebukuro
  • Kasumigaseki
  • Kokkai-gijidō-mae / Tameike-Sannō
  • Nagatachō
  • Omotesandō
  • Ōtemachi
  • Shibuya

Other major stations provide additional connections to other railway operators such as the Toei Subway, JR East, and the various private railways, including (but not limited to) the following:

  • Hibiya
  • Kita-Senju
  • Kudanshita
  • Shimbashi

Famous quotes containing the word stations:

    “mourn

    The majesty and burning of the child’s death.
    I shall not murder
    The mankind of her going with a grave truth
    Nor blaspheme down the stations of the breath”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
    —Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
