History
The station first opened on 1 April 1902 as Azumabashi Station (吾妻橋駅 Azumabashi-eki?).[2] The station closed from 5 April 1904, but reopened on 1 March 1908.[2] On 1 March 1910, the station was renamed Asakusa Station (浅草駅 Asakusa-eki?).[2] On 25 May 1931, this was renamed Narihirabashi Station (業平橋駅 Narihirabashi-eki?).[2]
Redevelopment and renaming
Narihirabashi Station was renamed Tokyo Skytree Station from 17 March 2012, ahead of the opening of the Tokyo Skytree and adjoining Skytree Town shopping and office complex on 22 May 2012.[3] From this date, all up limited express (Spacia, Ryōmō, and Shimotsuke) services and four down Spacia Kinu services stop at the station.[3] The rebuilt and enlarged station was opened on 20 April 2012, with the concourse area increased from approximately 60 m2 to 700 m2.[4]
From the same day, station numbering was introduced on all Tobu lines, with Tokyo Skytree Station becoming "TS-02".[5]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2012, the station was used by an average of 105,199 passengers daily.[6]
