Lines
Kudanshita Station is served by the following three subway lines.
Station layout
The underground station is built on three main levels, with the Tōzai Line platforms located on the 2nd basement level and the Shinjuku Line and Hanzōmon Line platforms on the 4th basement level.
Platforms
The Tōzai Line platforms consist of two side platforms running approximately north-south. The Shinjuku Line and Hanzōmon Line platforms on the 4th basement level were originally configured as two sets of side platforms running approximately east-west parallel to each other. From 16 March 2013, the separating wall between these platforms was removed, allowing cross-platform interchange between platform 4 (Hanzomon Line Ageo-bound) and platform 5 (Shinjuku Line Shinjuku-bound).
History
The station opened on 23 December 1964 as the eastern terminus of the Tōzai Line from Takadanobaba. The Shinjuku Line platforms opened on 16 March 1980, and the Hanzōmon Line platforms on 26 January 1989.
Work commenced on removing the separating wall between the parallel Tokyo Metro Hanzōmon Line and Toei Shinjuku Line platforms (4 and 5) in 2012, allowing cross-platform interchange from 16 March 2013.
Surrounding area
This is the closest subway station to Yasukuni Shrine and Nippon Budokan.
