History
Kiyosumi-shirakawa Station is an interchange in Koto ward, Tokyo, jointly served by the Toei Subway Ōedo Line (E-14) and the Tokyo Metro Hanzōmon Line (Z-11). The Toei Ōedo Line platforms opened on 12 December 2000 when that line entered full service, and the Hanzōmon Line platforms followed on 19 March 2003 when the Teito Rapid Transit Authority extended the line east from Suitengūmae to Oshiage. The Hanzōmon facilities passed to Tokyo Metro at the TRTA privatisation in 2004. The Toei section comprises two island platforms serving three tracks (with the centre track shared between platforms 2 and 3 for terminating services), while the Tokyo Metro section sits deeper and uses a single island platform with two tracks.
