Kayabachō Station (茅場町駅, Kayabachō-eki^?) is a subway station in the Nihonbashi neighbourhood of Chūō, Tokyo, Japan. Kayabachō Station is operated by Tokyo Metro.

Location

Kayabachō Station is located at an intersection of two major streets in southern Nihonbashi (specifically Nihonbashi-Kayabachō), a neighbourhood in Chūō Ward renowned for its financial history and commercial development. The Tokyo Stock Exchange, the world's second largest stock exchange after that in New York, is only a few blocks west in Nihonbashi-Kabutochō.

History

The station opened on February 28, 1963 as part of the Hibiya line, which then ran between Higashi-Ginza and Kita-Koshigaya (on the Tōbu Isesaki Line). The Tōzai Line platforms opened on September 14, 1967.

Station layout

The Hibiya and Tōzai lines cross perpendicularly at the station and so do their platforms. The Hibiya Line has two side platforms with southbound trains using track 1 and northbound trains using track 2. In contrast, the Tōzai Line has a single island platform with tracks on either side; track 3 serves eastbound trains whilst track 4 serves westbound trains.
