Edogawabashi Station, Metro station in Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan
Edogawabashi Station is an underground metro station on the Yurakucho Line of the Tokyo Metro system with an island platform layout. The station has two tracks and standard underground infrastructure for passenger processing.
The station began operations on October 30, 1974, during a period of expansion in Tokyo's transit network. It was built as part of modernizing transportation infrastructure in this area.
The station takes its name from the Edogawa Bridge nearby, which crosses the river and gives the area its identity. Such names help commuters navigate the city by connecting transit points to local geography.
The station has elevators, modern restrooms, and barrier-free design for easy access for all visitors. The station sits on a curved section of track, so pay attention to platform edges when boarding and exiting.
Two dedicated watchmen are always on duty to oversee safety because the station sits on an S-shaped track curve. This practice is unusual in the Tokyo Metro system and shows how the operator manages this particular geographical situation.
