Overview

The 16.8 km (10.4 mi) line serves the wards ofShibuya,Minato,Chiyoda,Chūō,Kōtō,andSumida.Despite being shorter in length than nearly all other Tokyo subway lines, the Hanzōmon Line operates some of the longestthrough serviceswithprivate railways– namelyTōkyū CorporationandTobu Railway.The line is connected toTōkyū Den-en-toshi LineatShibuya Stationto the south, and to theTobu Skytree LineatOshiageto the north. Through trains operate betweenChūō-Rinkanon the Tōkyū Den-en-toshi Line andTōbu-Dōbutsu-Kōenon theTobu Skytree Line,onward toKukion theTobu Isesaki LineandMinami-Kurihashion theTobu Nikko Line.^[2]Through-service trains between Chūō-Rinkan and Minami-Kurihashi cover a total distance of 98.5 km (61.2 mi) in a single run – nearly six times the length of the Hanzōmon Line alone.

The Hanzōmon Line has direct interchanges with all other Tokyo Metro and Toei lines. It connects with theTokyo Metro Ginza Lineat five stations (the four stations betweenShibuyaandNagatachō,as well as atMitsukoshimae Station.

The line is named after the west gate of theImperial Palace(Hanzōmon), which in turn is named after 16th century samuraiHattori Hanzō,who was important to the founding of the shogunate which built the palace. The Hanzōmon Line's color on maps and station guides is purple, and stations carry the letter "Z" followed by a two-digit number.

According to theTokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation,as of June 2009 the Hanzōmon Line is the sixth most crowded subway line in Tokyo, at its peak running at 173%^[a]capacity betweenShibuyaandOmotesandōstations.^[3]

History

The Hanzōmon Line was first planned in 1968, along with theChiyoda LineandYūrakuchō Line,as a reliever line for the heavily congestedGinza Line.Its initial routing was fromFutako-Tamagawa Stationon theTōkyū Den-en-toshi Lineto a new station in the Fukagawa district ofKōtō.In 1985, a second draft plan from the Ministry of Transportation moved the Hanzōmon Line's final terminus toMatsudo.During the planning stage, it was known asLine 11.

Construction began in 1972 and the majority of the line was expected to open in 1975. However, theTeito Rapid Transit Authoritydid not have enough funds to build the line, which delayed its construction. On August 1, 1978, the first section of the Hanzōmon Line finally opened from Shibuya to Aoyama-itchōme, including through services with the Den-en-toshi Line. It was then extended to Nagatachō Station in September 1979. The line was initially operated mainly using Tokyu rolling stock, as the first TRTA 8000 series train did not enter service until 1981.

However, the next extension posed political problems, as the original plan had the line run directly under theImperial PalacetoŌtemachi Station.TRTA decided to divert the route around the north side of the Imperial Palace, which required the construction of three new stations. Aneminent domainbattle erupted with landowners along the proposed route, which delayed the completion of the next stage of the line.Hanzomon Stationopened in December 1982, and the full extension around the Imperial Palace, terminating at Mitsukoshi-mae, was not completed until January 1989. The line was then extended to Suitengu-mae in November 1990 and finally Oshiage in March 2003, the latter also enabling through service with the Tobu Skytree Line.^[6]

The line, station facilities, rolling stock, and related assets were inherited byTokyo Metroafter the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.^[7]

TheMinistry of Transportationrecommended in 2000 that the line be extended to its intended terminus in Matsudo by 2015. However, Tokyo Metro stated in itsinitial public offeringthat its construction operations would cease once theFukutoshin Lineis completed, which cast some doubt as to whether the Matsudo extension will actually be built.
