History
Senkawa Station opened on 24 June 1983 on the Eidan Subway (TRTA) Yūrakuchō Line between Heiwadai and Ikebukuro, in Kanamechō in Toshima ward. The station inherited Tokyo Metro operation on 1 April 2004 with the privatisation of TRTA. A second underground level — the Fukutoshin Line platform built during original construction in the 1990s but left unused — began revenue service on 14 June 2008 when the new line opened, with both lines running through the station in a stacked arrangement. Platform-edge doors were installed on the Yūrakuchō Line platforms in February 2014, the last station on that line to receive them.

Notes
The station is named for the Senkawa Aqueduct rather than its address: it actually stands in Kanamechō, with the Toshima-Itabashi boundary just to the north along the buried route of the old waterway.
