Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tokyo Metro Hanzōmon Line (東京地下鉄半蔵門線 Tōkyō Chikatetsu Hanzōmon-sen?) is a metro line in Tokyo, Japan, administered by the Tokyo Metro. Its color on maps is purple. Stations on the Hanzōmon Line carry the letter Z followed by a number. The planning line number of the Hanzōmon Line is Line 11.
The 16.8 km line serves the wards of Shibuya, Minato, Chiyoda, Chūō, Koto and Sumida. Hanzomon Line trains interoperate with the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line from Shibuya Station and with the Tobu Isesaki Line from Oshiage Station. Through-service trains between Tokyu Chūō-Rinkan and Tobu Minami-Kurihashi cover a total distance of 98.5 km in a single run.
Upon its opening in 1978, the line only extended from Shibuya to Aoyama-itchome. It was further extended to Nagatacho (1979), Hanzomon (1982), Mitsukoshi-mae (1989), Suitengu-mae (1990) and Oshiage (2003). A further extension is planned from Oshiage to Matsudo on the Joban Line.
The Hanzomon Line has interchanges with all other Tokyo Metro and Toei lines, except the Hibiya Line. It tnterchanges with the Ginza Line at four stations.
