Minowa Station (三ノ輪駅, Minowa-eki) is a subway station in Taitō, Tokyo, Japan, operated by Tokyo Metro. It is close to Minowabashi Station on the Tokyo Sakura Tram.
History
[edit]
The station opened on 28 March 1961, as part of the original five-station section of the Hibiya line from Naka-Okachimachi to Minami-Senju.[1]
The station facilities were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[2]
In the 2015 data available from Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Minowa → Iriya was one of the train segments among Tokyo's most crowded train lines during rush hour.[3]
Lines
[edit]Minowa Station is served by the Hibiya Line, and is 2.9 km from the northern starting point of the line at Kita-Senju.[1] Since the opening of Toranomon Hills on 6 June 2020, the station code is H-20.
Station layout
[edit]The station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks.
