Oshiage Station, Railway interchange station in Sumida, Japan
Oshiage Station is a railway interchange under Sumida with separate platforms for Keisei, Toei, Tokyo Metro, and Tobu services at different underground levels. Each railway company operates its own platforms, connected by underground corridors and passageways.
The station was established in 1912 and expanded in 1960 when Keisei lines moved underground to accommodate the new Toei Subway service. This transformation allowed multiple railway companies to connect at a single central location.
This station serves as the main entry point to Tokyo Skytree, linking visitors to contemporary Japanese architecture and entertainment. The area draws crowds daily as people move between the tower and the connecting train lines.
The station connects four railway companies and offers direct service to central Tokyo locations and Haneda Airport. All lines are clearly marked, and stairs and elevators connect the different platform levels throughout.
The station is characterized by an intricate network of tunnels and corridors linking multiple railway lines across several underground levels. For many visitors, the sheer extent and depth of this underground network beneath the streets can be surprising.
