is a subway station in Kōtō, Tokyo, Japan, jointly operated by Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei) and Tokyo Metro. The station numbers are Z-12 for the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line and S-13 for the Toei Shinjuku Line.[1]
Sumiyoshi Station is served by the following two lines.
Two side platforms serving two tracks. Here, passengers must choose their direction before passing through the ticket gates.
Originally built as two island platforms, one above the other, but only one side is used, and the other side, originally reserved for future extension plan to Toyosu, are used as stabling tracks.[2]
The station opened on 21 December 1978, initially served by the Toei Shinjuku Line only.[3] The Tokyo Metro platforms opened on 19 March 2003.[3]
The station facilities of the Hanzōmon Line were inherited by Tokyo Metro after the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[4]
Sumiyoshi Station is located about 15 minutes' walk away from Kinshichō Station, one of Kōtō, Tokyo's largest shopping areas and also lies in close proximity to Sarueonshi Park.
In 2021, plans were announced to branch the Yurakucho line at Toyosu Station, traveling north for 4.8km (03miles) connecting up to Sumiyoshi Station. This branch line, expected to be in service in the mid-2030s, will connect Sumiyoshi Station with the region south of it.
A branch line from Toyosu Station has been planned since the early 1980s, heading north via Kameari Station (on the Jōban Line) to Noda in northwest Chiba Prefecture.[5]
