Oshiage Station (押上駅 Oshiage-eki) is a train station located at the Oshiage-eki-mae intersection of Metropolitan Routes 453 and 465 (Asakusa-dōri and Yotsume-dōri respectively) in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. Its station numbers are A 20 (Toei Asakusa Line) and Z 14 (Hanzōmon Line).
It is adjacent to the site for the Tokyo Sky Tree.
History
The station opened on November 3, 1912 as the terminus of the original Keisei Railway from what is now Edogawa station on the Main Line. On December 1, 1960 it was replaced by a new station underground in preparation for through services to Toei Line 1, which opened three days later. (Line 1 was christened the Asakusa Line on July 1, 1978.) In 1989 a passagaway opened to Narihirabashi Station, but this was closed when the Eidan/Tōbu platforms opened on March 19, 2003. (Eidan became Tokyo Metro on April 1, 2004.) Officially, the Tokyo Metro/Tōbu platforms are part of Narihirabashi station, although there is no connection between the two sections.
