Kasumigaseki Station, Metro station in Kasumigaseki district, Tokyo, Japan
Kasumigaseki Station is an underground metro station in Tokyo with three separate platforms serving different subway lines. The Marunouchi Line features both island and side platforms to handle passenger movement efficiently.
The station began operations in October 1958 with only the Marunouchi Line. The Hibiya Line was added in 1964, followed by the Chiyoda Line in 1971, gradually expanding the network.
The station serves as a main transit hub for government workers and visitors traveling to ministry buildings and administrative offices throughout the district. This creates a steady flow of people during rush hours, shaping the daily rhythm of this administrative center.
Multiple ticket machines are available throughout the station, and elevators with accessible facilities serve all travelers. During peak hours, the platforms can become crowded, so arriving with extra time is wise.
Transferring between the Marunouchi and Chiyoda Lines requires walking through the Hibiya Line platform, which takes about five minutes. This unusual arrangement catches many first-time visitors off guard.
