history
The private railway company Nippon Tetsudō opened the station on December 25, 1896, as part of the line between today's Tabata freight yard and Tsuchiura , which connected the capital Tokyo with the important Jōban coal district near Hitachi . Almost three years later, Kita-Senju developed into a suburban railway junction when the Tōbu Tetsudō opened the first section of the Isesaki line from here to Kuki on August 27, 1899 . Nearly three more years passed until the opening of the line between Kita-Senju and Azumabashi (now Tokyo Skytree ) on April 1, 1902. Following the entry into force of the Railway Nationalization Act , the railway took office (today's Ministry of Railways ) on 1 November 1906, the Nippon Railway while the Tōbu Tetsudō remained independent until today.
Compared to the city-side end stations Ueno and Asakusa , the passenger frequency in Kita-Senju was significantly lower for half a century, which began to change in the early 1960s. The Teito Kōsokudo Kōtsū Eidan ( Eidan for short, known as the Tōkyō Metro since privatization in 2004 ) extended the Hibiya Line on May 31, 1962 from Minami-Senju to this point, including a connection to the Isesaki Line. On December 20, 1969, the Eidan extended the Chiyoda line from Ōtemachi to Kita-Senju, with which the station was now connected to two subway lines. Finally, on April 20, 1971, the Chiyoda line was extended to Ayase .
Passenger frequencies rose rapidly and soon matched the values of stations on the Yamanote Line . For this reason, the Kita-Senja station had to be expanded in several stages in order to reduce congestion, especially during rush hour. The shopping center integrated into the station opened its doors on March 28, 1985. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station became the property of the new company JR East on April 1, 1987 . In 1992, the expansion of the station section with the Isesaki line and the Hibiya line to a three-storey facility began; after five years, work was completed in March 1997. On August 24, 2005, the platforms for the Tsukuba Express from Akihabara to Tsukuba went into operation.
