Hanzômon-sen trains continue in the west of Tôkyô from 1 Shibuya over the Tôkyû Railway Company’s Den’en Toshi-sen (TD) right to its end at Chûô Rinkan. Conversely, Tôkyû Den’en Toshi-sen trains work over the Hanzômon-sen, and beyond.
In the east, Hanzômon-sen trains continue from 14 Oshiage northwards over the Tôbu Railway Company’s line to Hikifune and Kita Senju, and from here over the Tôbu Isesaki-sen (TÔI) via Koshigaya and Kasukabe to the Tôbu Zoo at Tôbu Dôbutsu Kô’en. Beyond there, they work either onwards to the city of Kuki, or – over the Tôbu Nikkô-sen (TÔN) - to Minami Kurihashi (Kurihashi South). Conversely, Tôbu Company trains work over the Hanzômon-sen and beyond over the Tôkyû Company’s Den-en Toshi-sen to Chûô Rinkan in the west of Tôkyô, while Tôkyû trains – having come over the Hanzômon-sen – work over the Tôbu lines north of 14 Oshiage.
