History
Honjo-azumabashi Station opened on 4 December 1960 as a station on Toei Line 1, the first subway line operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation. The line was given its present name, the Toei Asakusa Line, in 1978. The station is located beneath the intersection of Asakusa-dori and Mitsume-dori in Sumida, Tokyo, and sits between the two terminus-style stations of Asakusa and Oshiage on the Asakusa Line. It carries the station number A-19. PASMO IC card use began on 18 March 2007. A second ticket gate at the Pushing side of platform 2 was opened on 31 August 2013 as part of a station-improvement project that converted the connecting underground passage into a paid-area corridor.
