History
[edit]The Keisei station opened on 3 November 1912.[1] The Keisei station was moved underground in 1960 in preparation of the opening of Line 1 of the Toei Subway (present day Toei Asakusa Line). Line 1 would open for revenue service on 4 December of that year.[1]
The Tobu station opened on 19 March 2003.[2]
The Hanzomon Line platforms were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[3]
Station numbering was introduced to all Keisei Line stations on 17 July 2010; Oshiage Station on the Keisei Line was assigned station number KS45.[4][5]
Surrounding area
[edit]The station is located at the Oshiage-eki-mae intersection of Metropolitan Routes 453 and 465 (Asakusa-dōri and Yotsume-dōri respectively).
Tokyo Skytree is nearby and Tokyo Skytree Station is within 10 minutes walk.
