Okachimachi Station (御徒町駅; -eki) is located
in Tokyo's Taitō ward.
Layout
The station is on a raised viaduct running in a roughly
north-south direction through a heavily built-up area.
There are two platforms on the western side
of the viaduct enabling cross-platform interchange
between the Keihin-Tōhoku and Yamanote Lines in the
respective direction of travel. East of the platforms
are tracks belonging to the Tōhoku Main Line
formerly running to Tokyo Station but which are now
used to stable trains terminating at Ueno Station.
Okachimachi has two exits, North Exit (北口) and South Exit
(南口).
