Confused over Asakusa stations

I'm very confused over the station names. E.g. If I want to go to Sensoji Temple, it says that it is a few steps from Asakusa Station, served by the Ginza Subway Line, Asakusa Subway Line and Tobu Railways. When I searched Hyperdia, there are 3 stations namely : Asakusa(Tobu), Asakusa(Tsukuba) and Asakusabashi. So which is the right one to go???

Hey Niebrown,

I suppose it depends on where you are planning on going! ;) You can see a map of the area that shows the location of the different stations below.

if you will be near an asakusa line station, take that one; if you will be near the a ginza line station, take that one; if you will be near a tsukuba line station, take that one. all can take you to asakusa and near to the temple.

if ur taking the tokyo metro the best and closest station would be asakusa (tobu)on the ginza line..asakusa (tsukuba) is in the area but is a different train line..theres also asakusa station operated by toei which is basically a block south of asakusa (tobu)

u do not go to asakusabashi station unless u r there to transfer..it is about 3 stations south of asakusa station

For hyperdia purposes you just enter ASAKUSA(Tobu)

I have just returned from Tokyo and we stayed in Asakusa, so I know about the confusing stations! The Ginza line station is the one closest to the temple - although there are several exits, some closer than others! However as with all the other subway stations there is always a map somewhere in the station which tends to help you get orientated.
