|} The is a subway line in Tokyo, Japan, operated by the Tokyo subway operator Toei Subway. The line runs between Nishi-Magome in Ōta and Oshiage in Sumida. The Asakusa Line was the first subway line in Japan to offer through services with a private railway. Today, it has more through services to other lines than any other subway line in Tokyo. Keikyu operates through trains on the Keikyu Main Line to and the Keikyu Airport Line to . The Keisei Electric Railway operates through trains on the Keisei Oshiage Line to and the Keisei Main Line to , and the Shibayama Railway runs trains via the Keisei Main Line and the Shibayama Railway Line to . On maps and signboards, the line is shown in "rose" (O). Stations carry the letter "A" followed by a two-digit number. == History == The Toei Asakusa Line was the first subway line constructed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Its planning name is Line 1: it was later named after the famous Asakusa district of Tokyo. In its original plan form, the line would have actually bypassed Asakusa Station entirely. However, the plan was changed to take advantage of the existing Tōbu Isesaki Line and Tokyo Metro Ginza Line connections at Asakusa. The initial 3.2 km segment between Oshiage and Asakusabashi opened on December 4, 1960. The line then opened in stages from north to south: * May 1962: Asakusabashi to Higashi-Nihonbashi * September 1962: Higashi-Nihonbashi to Ningyōchō * February 1963: Ningyōchō to Higashi-Ginza * December 1963: Higashi-Ginza to Shinbashi * October 1964: Shinbashi to Daimon * June 1968: Daimon to Sengakuji (Through service with Keikyū begins) * November 15, 1968: Sengakuji to Nishi-Magome From 1998 to 2002, the Asakusa Line was used as part of a rail connection between Tokyo's two major airports, Haneda and Narita. While a few trains still run between the airports (see below), the service has greatly diminished in frequency since 2002. In 2005, a research group of government, metropolitan and railway company officials proposed that the Asakusa Line be connected to Tokyo Station via a spur to the north of Takarachō Station. This would provide Tokyo Station's first direct connection to the Toei subway network. It would also make it possible to reach Haneda Airport in 25 minutes (versus 35 minutes today) and Narita Airport in 40 minutes (versus 57 minutes today).〔(都営浅草線東京駅接着等の事業化推進に関する検討 調査結果のとりまとめ ), May 2003.〕 This plan has yet to be finalized or formally adopted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toei Asakusa Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
