Platforms

The subway station has two island platforms located on the third basement ("B3F") level, serving four tracks. Originally the two centre tracks were built since the opening and reserved for the future extension to Sumiyoshi,[1] on which were completed on 1 March 2013 for use by terminating services from Wakoshi from the start of the revised timetable on 16 March 2013.[2] Following the timetable revision on 15 October 2019 however, tracks 2 and 3 were temporarily shut down and subsequently covered up as a measure to alleviate congestion during the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics, however it is not decided whether the tracks will be used again.[3][4]
