JR East

The JR station extends along a heaped up part of the Sotobori, the former outer moat of Edo . It is oriented from northeast to south and has four tracks. The western pair of tracks opens up a covered central platform , while the eastern pair of tracks has no platforms. The route in the northern area of ​​the station has a tight curve with a radius of 300 meters, which in some places creates a considerable gap between the train and the edge of the platform. Passengers are made aware of the situation acoustically and visually. At both ends of the platform there is a station building , due to the slight slope of the surrounding area with different construction methods. The southern building has the shape of a riding station and stretches across the entire complex, while the northern building is located under the viaduct at street level. Pedestrian tunnels provide connections to the underground subway stations .

Platform of the Yūrakuchō Line

The underground platforms of the Namboku Line and the Yūrakuchō Line run parallel to the west of the JR tracks. The tracks of the Tōzai line are at a 90 ° angle east of the JR platforms. The subway station has a total of six platform tracks, which are divided into two side (Tōzai line) and two central platforms (Namboku and Yūrakuchō line).

Platform of the Ōedo line

The Ōedo Line Metro Station is north of JR station under the streets that cross here. It has two platform tracks that serve a single central platform. Due to structural separations, it is not possible to change directly to the other underground lines, but there are transitions to all lines with renewed access control at the platform barriers . The subway station was designed entirely on the computer by the architect Makoto Sei Watanabe using the specially designed Web Frame software . From the platform, a geometric grid construction of green steel pipes extends from the ceiling through the station area. The rhizome-like network of tubes on the 35 m deep platform looks like a root system that becomes more complex towards the exit.

history

The private railway company Kōbu Tetsudō extended their route on October 9, 1894 coming from Shinjuku to the new provisional terminus Ushigome ( 牛 込 ). This was a little closer to Yotsuya than today's train station and had two exits. Another short extension to Iidamachi followed on April 3, 1895 . After the Railway Nationalization Act came into force , the Railway Authority (later the Railway Ministry ) took over operations on the line on October 1, 1906. As a result of the Great Kantō earthquake , the Ministry of Railways pushed ahead with the four-track expansion between Shinjuku and Iidamachi. Associated with this was the merging of the nearby platforms of Ushigome and Iidamachi stations to form what is now the Iidabashi station in between, which went into operation on November 15, 1928. As part of the privatization of the Japanese State Railways , the station became the property of the new company JR East on April 1, 1987 .

On May 16, 1966, the Teito Kōsokudo Kōtsū Eidan ( Eidan for short, known as the Tōkyō Metro since privatization in 2004 ) opened the Waseda - Takebashi section of the Tōzai line , connecting Iidabashi station to the Tokyo subway network for the first time was. With the opening of the Ikebukuro - Ginza-itchōme section of the Yūrakuchō Line by the Eidan on October 30, 1974, Iidabashi developed into a subway hub. Next, the Namboku line received a subway station here when the Eidan opened the Komagome –Yotsuya section on March 26, 1996 . Finally, on December 12, 2000, the Tokyo City Transportation Department completed the last section of the Ōedo Line .
