Shimo-Kitazwa is a crossing station where two lines cross on different levels. It is on the one hand the Odakyū Odawara line of the railway company Odakyū Dentetsu from Shinjuku to Odawara , on the other hand the Keiō Inokashira line of the Keiō Dentetsu from Shibuya to Kichijōji . In terms of traffic volume, both are about equally important. All local and express trains stop on the Odawara line - with the exception of the Romancecar express trains that are subject to a surcharge . Up to 33 connections per hour are offered in both directions. The train types Junkyū (Semi Express) and Tsūkin-junkyū (Commuter Semi Express) run from Isehara Coming, not to Shinjuku, but are in Yoyogi-Uehara to the Chiyoda Line of the Tokyo subway by bound . In the opposite direction, the other express trains go to Odawara, Fujisawa , Katase-Enoshima and Karakida . Local trains with stops at all stations usually connect Shinjuku with Hon-Atsugi .

On the Inokashira line, express and local trains run alternately every six to eight minutes, which together result in a three-minute or four-minute cycle; During the morning rush hour, only local trains run every two to four minutes. The nearest bus stop is about 150 meters east of the train station on Chazawa-dōri and is served by a line operated by Odakyu City Bus .

The Tower Station is located in the southwest of the Kitazawa district, which is part of the Setagaya district of Tokyo . The Keiō Inokashira line of the Keiō Dentetsu runs above ground . The station part of this railway company is oriented from east to west and has two tracks on a completely covered central platform . While the eastern part of the platform is on a viaduct , the western part is at ground level and is delimited by a level crossing . The distribution level below is partly built into the gently sloping slope, with the main exit at street level.

The elongated reception building of the Odakyū Dentetsu is arranged diagonally under the viaduct in a northeast-southwest direction , which also enables access to the Keiō station above. Its main purpose, however, is to provide access to the platforms of the underground Odawara Line, which is provided by stairs, elevators and escalators . The tunnel station consists of two levels, one on top of the other, each with two tracks on a central platform. The upper level in the first basement is mainly used for local transport and those express trains that are connected to the subway in Yoyogi-Uehara. Express trains and express trains to and from Shinjuku run on the lower level in the second basement.

history

The railway company Odawara Kyūkō Tetsudō opened the station on April 1, 1927, together with the entire Odakyū Odawara line from Shinjuku to Odawara . On August 1, 1933, the opening of the first section of the Shibuya Line ( 渋 谷 線 , Shibuya-sen ) by the Teito Dentetsu followed . It connected Shibuya with Inokashira-kōen (from 1934 with Kichijōji ) and received its own train station called Shimo-Kitazawa in the immediate vicinity. The Teito Dentetsu merged on May 1, 1940 with the Odawara Kyūkō Tetsudō , especially since both railway companies then belonged to the energy supply company Kinugawa Suiryoku . This in turn lost its main business due to the forced nationalization of the electricity industry and merged with its subsidiary. This resulted in the Odakyū Dentetsu on March 1, 1941 , on the same day the Shibuya line was renamed the Teito line ( 帝都 線 , Teito-sen ). This name was short-lived, because on May 1, 1942, the Odakyū Dentetsu went on in the Daitokyū conglomerate, which introduced the new name Inokashira line.

Two years after the end of the Pacific War , the shareholders decided at an extraordinary meeting on November 26, 1947, to dissolve the financially troubled Daitokyū conglomerate through spin-offs . In this way, the Odawara line came back to the Odakyū Dentetsu on June 1, 1948, while the Inokashira line became the property of the Keiō Teito Dentetsu (since 1998 Keiō Dentetsu ). From the mid-1970s, the Odakyū Dentetsu planned to expand the most heavily loaded section of the Odawara line from two to four tracks, but lengthy expropriation and compensation proceedings delayed implementation again and again and led to plan changes. Work in the area around Shimo-Kitazawa finally began in September 2004. They included the replacement of the Odakyū station, which was previously at ground level, with a tunnel station on two levels. The upper level went into operation on March 23, 2013, the lower level on March 3, 2018.
