About Asakusa Station

Asakusa Station refers to the access points of the four different train lines that bring passengers to Tokyo’s Asakusa district. These stations are collectively known as the Asakusa Stations. The lines that serve them are the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, the Tobu Skytree Line, the Toei Asakusa Line, and the Tsukuba Express Line. There are pedestrian passages that connect the Tobu Skytree, Tokyo Metro, and Toei Asakusa stations, but the Tsukuba Station can only be accessed from the street.
