Kitasenju Station

Complex multi-line station easy to navigate

Kitasenju Station, among the top ten busiest train stations in Japan, is compact because the lines are on multiple floors. Tobu, JR, Tokyo Metro, and the Tsukuba Express all intersect here. The navigation is pretty clear and the east side of the station is open-air so it's bright. You can walk under the station through a pedestrian tunnel connecting the east and west sides of the station. Note that the concourse has different levels of floor surfaces, so look out for the slopes when you're pulling suitcases or pushing strollers.
