Kasuga is built under the Bunkyo Civic Center, the ward’s own offices, and both of its lines carry that building’s name as a subtitle. The Mita Line platforms opened on 30 June 1972, when the line ran from Hibiya to Sugamo, and Toei’s Oedo Line platform followed on 12 December 2000. The name comes from the district, which in turn recalls the estate of Kasuga no Tsubone; the working name during planning was Kasugacho.

The two platforms are far apart vertically – the Mita Line on the second basement level, the Oedo Line on the fourth – and the Mita Line has nothing above it on the first basement because a sewer culvert occupies that space. A ticket gate at the foot of the stairs from the middle of the Oedo platform leads into Tokyo Metro’s Korakuen, which is how passengers reach the Marunouchi and Namboku Lines, and since 16 March 2013 you may also pass through Korakuen’s paid area without being charged for the walk. Toei counted 71,886 entries and exits a day on the Mita Line in 2024 and 60,957 on the Oedo Line.

Finding Kasuga on the signs

Every line gives the station its own letter-and-number code. You never have to read the Japanese name to find the right platform.

Station numbers at Kasuga

Tokyo signposts every platform, exit and train door with a letter and a two-digit number. Matching the number is faster than reading the name — and it is what you will see on the map, in announcements and on the platform edge.

Departure times come from the operators’ own GTFS timetables (ODPT GTFS Toei-Train-GTFS (version 20261009, valid 2026-03-14..2027-03-12) + TokyoMetro-Train-GTFS (version 20261008, valid 2026-09-19..2027-03-12)). Japan publishes two subway timetables: 平日 weekdays and 土休日 Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. There is no separate Sunday timetable, and the December 30 – January 3 period runs the holiday timetable.

Frequently asked questions

They are separate stations run by different companies, but they work as one interchange. A transfer gate at the centre of the Oedo Line platform leads through to Tokyo Metro’s Korakuen, so you can reach the Marunouchi and Namboku Lines without going up to the street; the two are only a short distance apart.
The station had to be fitted around what was already underground. A sewer culvert runs through the first basement level above the Mita Line, so the station structure there begins at the second basement, and the Oedo Line, built nearly thirty years later, had to go deeper still, down to the fourth.
Kasuga Station is served by the Mita Line and Oedo Line. Its station numbers are I12, E07 — one per line, and that is what the platform signs, the maps and the announcements use.
On weekdays the earliest departure from Kasuga is around 05:05 and the latest around 00:40, depending on the line and the direction. Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays follow the other published timetable; the table above gives both for every line and direction.
According to the operators’ own accessibility pages there is a step-free route from the street through the gates to the platform. Toei: every station has elevators and a street-gate-platform “1-route” is secured. Lift locations and opening hours are on the operator page linked in the accessibility section above.
A single adult fare from Kasuga to Shinjuku on Toei Subway lines is ¥220 with an IC card (¥220 with a paper ticket). Tokyo charges by distance, so the fare depends on how far you go and on which company’s lines you use — the full tables are on the fares page.
