Ayase Station (綾瀬駅 Ayase-eki?) is a railway station in Adachi, Tokyo, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro.
Ayase Station is served by the following two lines.
Ayase is the northern terminus of most Chiyoda Line services that do not continue to the Joban Line, as Kita-Ayase Station cannot accommodate trains longer than three cars. Tokyo Metro plans to expand Kita-Ayase Station to accommodate ten-car trains for through service to the Chiyoda Line beyond Ayase.
The official boundary between the Joban Line and Chiyoda Line is located east of Ayase Station, past the turnoff for the Kita-Ayase branch of the Chiyoda Line. However, the segment of the Chiyoda Line between Ayase and Kita-Senju Station is treated as part of the Joban Line for fare calculation purposes when passengers do not travel on Tokyo Metro beyond Kita-Senju.
Ayase Station also serves as a turnaround point for the Odakyu 60000 series MSE Romancecar service through the Chiyoda Line, and is sometimes used as a delivery point for Tokyo Metro trainsets by rail; JR Freight transports the trainsets to Ayase during midnight hours, where Tokyo Metro takes delivery and hauls them to the nearby Ayase depot.
The stations has a side platform serving one track and two island platforms serving three tracks.
Platform 2/3 is used for terminating and starting trains.
