Need to get to Higashi-Ginza from Shimbashi

Pardon the ignorance of this question, but I will need to get to Higashi-Ginza station on the Toei Asakusa line from Shimbashi station. Do all of the cars that stop at Toei's Shimbashi station stop at Higashi-Ginza station or are some of them "express" subway cars that will bypass Higashi-Ginza? If so, how do I tell which ones will and will not stop at Higashi-Ginza station? Thank you!

Just like every "how do I get to" question here, the answer is always "use Hyperdia." With just a 30 second search, it's only 2 minutes by subway and costs 180 yen. Simple as that.

You can walk easily from Shibashi to Higashi Ginza. It's about 10 min. walk. It's the simplest way!

... (the anonymous): the answer is always "use Hyperdia." A route-finding tool such as HyperDia does not easily solve the most significant question here: how a passenger can tell which Toei subway trains stop at Higashi-ginza and which ones donft. On Toei subway Asakusa Line, trains with an airplane icon, which run as a sort of Limited Express, pass (not bypass) some stations such as Higashi-ginza. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Airport_Ltd_Express...http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cc/Keisei3050-Ai...The other trains, including Ltd. Express trains without such an airplane icon, stop at all stations on Toei subway Asakusa Line. On a route for the Keikyu + Toei subway + Keisei through services, plural train services are described as Limited Express in English; you cannot distinguish them only by the name. Toei subway (Asakusa Line) and Tokyo Metro (Ginza Line) have subway Shimbashi Stations. http://www.tokyometro.jp/station/shimbashi/yardmap/images/yardmap.gif Also JR-East and Yurikamome have Shimbashi Stations; their lines are not counted as subway. (You see a JR gate around the center of the map.) Toei subway (Asakusa Line) and Tokyo Metro (Hibiya Line) have subway Higashi-ginza Stations (A-11, H-09). http://www.tokyometro.jp/station/higashi-ginza/yardmap/images/yardmap....Asakusa Line trains from Shimbashi use Track 2 of Higashi-ginza (A-11). Exits A7 and A8 of Higashi-ginza (A-11) are near the head of Asakusa Line trains from Shimbashi which are stooping there. These two exits are open from 07:00 to 22:00; the other six exits of subway Higashi-ginza Stations (A-11, H-09) are open while trains are available.

Thanks so much to omotenashi!!! I do use Hyperdia for rail travel (as suggested by anonymous) but the information that you have provided is invaluable. Thank you again!
