Iidabashi Station

Overview

Iidabashi Station is a JR and subway interchange near Kagurazaka's restaurants and the hotels between Iidabashi and Suidobashi. Its JR service and four subway lines provide more route choices than neighboring Suidobashi Station, which is useful for Tokyo Dome City.

The right entrance depends on your line.

Lines and connections

JR Chuo-Sobu local trains run west toward Shinjuku and east toward Ochanomizu. The Tozai Line travels directly to Otemachi and Nihombashi, so you don't need to change trains for either area.

Tokyo Metro's Yurakucho and Namboku lines also stop at Iidabashi, along with the Toei Oedo Line. The Namboku Line reaches Korakuen in one stop. When changing trains, follow signs for the correct operator and line, since platforms sharing the Iidabashi name don't all use the same street entrances.

What's nearby

Kagurazaka's main street runs uphill from the Iidabashi area, with restaurants and cafes along the main road and narrower lanes around Zenkokuji Temple. You can combine a meal with a walk through the neighborhood.

Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens is another nearby destination. Use Iidabashi for the West Gate; JR Suidobashi and Korakuen Station are alternatives for the East Gate.

Good to know

Hotel Metropolitan Edmont is about five minutes on foot from the JR East Exit but only two minutes from the Tozai Line's Exit A5. If you're comparing hotels by walking time, check which entrance the distance refers to, especially when arriving on a different line.
