【 Tokyo Metro extension plan 】
The following is from the Koto Ward website which announced in February 2022.
The extension of Tokyo Route 8 north of Toyosu was first proposed in Report No. 15 (1972) of the Urban Transport Council of Japan. Since then, Koto-ku and other municipalities along the rail line have taken the lead in studying the feasibility of the project.
Koto Ward has been conducting its own study on the Toyosu-Sumiyoshi line since 2007 and it has been accelerating its efforts for early development in recent years by holding study meetings with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Tokyo Metro, and other related organizations since 2010 as well as accumulating funds for construction.
Tokyo Route 8 (between Toyosu and Sumiyoshi) is expected to be highly effective not only in improving the convenience of north-south transportation within the ward but also in improving accessibility from the eastern part of Tokyo, southern Saitama Prefecture and northwestern Chiba Prefecture to the Tokyo waterfront area which is positioned as a base for strengthening international competitiveness and in easing congestion on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line. We will continue to study the early development of Tokyo Route 8 (between Toyosu and Sumiyoshi) in cooperation with related organizations.

This plan will further enhance the convenience of Toyosu. In addition to this Tokyo Metro extension, there are other such plans for Toyosu.
