Shin-Yokohama Station^[a] (新横浜駅,Shin-yokohama-eki) is a major interchange railway station inYokohama, Japan, jointly operated byCentral Japan Railway Company (JR Central),East Japan Railway Company (JR East),Yokohama City Transportation Bureau,Sagami Railway (Sotetsu), andTokyu Railways (Tokyu).

Shin-Yokohama Station is served by theTōkaidō Shinkansen,Yokohama Line,Yokohama Municipal Subway Blue Line,Sōtetsu Shin-Yokohama Line, and theTōkyū Shin-Yokohama Line.

The JR station consists of anisland platform at ground level serving the Yokohama Line, with two elevated island platforms for the shinkansen tracks overhead. The shinkansen platforms 2 and 3 have safety fences, as some trains passed non-stop through the station prior to 2008. The JR Central portion of the station includes aMidori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office. Additionally, the JR East portion of the station includes reserved seat ticket vending machines.

The Municipal Subway, Tōkyū Railways and Sagami Railway (Sōtetsu) share an underground integral concourse, which forms a cross shape. The Municipal Subway owns the northwest to southeast corridor, which provides three separate sets of ticket gates, with the northwest (so-called the "Nissan Stadium ticket gate") and central paid areas providing elevators for barrier-free access to the subway Blue Line platform level which is one story below the underground concourse. The Sōtetsu-Tōkyū parts of the concourse lie directly below and align with theYokohama Ring Road 2 [ja]. The northeast concourse is managed by Tōkyū, while the southwest is managed by Sōtetsu. The platform level of Sōtetsu–Tōkyū Link Line is three stories below the integral concourse. Only the southwest concourse managed by Sōtetsu has elevators for the Sōtetsu–Tōkyū platform level. Exits 1 and 5A on the southern side of the concourse are closer to the JR concourse.^[6]

Platforms 2 and 3 share the same track which is primarily for southbound trains which terminate at this station or emergency docking. On weekdays only, 1 midnight train departs from platform no.1 forMusashi-Kosugi.^[7]

Real estate agents purchased the private property in the area by telling residents and local government officials that the land was needed to build aNissan/Ford motor vehicle factory which would provide increased employment. Actually, however, the agents were in league with JNR and national politicians from the LDP party to acquire the land for the proposed station, which was not disclosed to the public at this time. The subterfuge was subsequently exposed in a novel and popular film calledKuro no Chō Tokkyū (黒の超特急; lit.The Black Super Express). The police opened several investigations, but the suspected agents, JNR employees, and political staffers fled the country until the statute of limitations on the alleged crimes expired.^[8]

Shin-Yokohama Station opened on 1 October 1964, with the opening of the Tokaido Shinkansen.^[9] At the time, the surrounding area was completely rural, and the site was selected as it was the intersection of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen tracks with the existing Yokohama Line. The station was connected to the Yokohama Municipal Subway system on 14 March 1985.^[10] With theprivatization ofJNR on 1 April 1987, the JNR portion of the station came under the operational control of JR East. The station building was remodeled in 1998.^{[citation needed]}

Station numbering was introduced to the Yokohama Line platforms 20 August 2016 with Shin-Yokohama being assigned station number JH16.^[11][12]

The Sōtetsu–Tōkyū jointly operated Shin-yokohama Station opened on 18 March 2023^[13] is one of the major infrastructures of the Eastern Kanagawa Rail Link project to improve the regional access to the Shin-Yokohama Shinkansen station by rail, which was previously only accessible via the JR Yokohama Line and Municipal Subway Blue Line. As a response to the new railways, JR Tokai started a new limited Nozomi service departs from Shin-Yokohama forNagoya andShin-Ōsaka on the same day as the opening of the Sōtetsu–Tōkyū Link Line.^[14]

Because the Sōtetsu–Tōkyū platform level is directly 2-story underneath the Municipal Subway Blue Line platform, the subway platforms wereunderpinned to fortify the foundation. The operation of the subway Blue Line was not obstructed during the construction of the new station. All the involved construction parties were commended by theJapan Society of Civil Engineers in 2020 for commencing such a difficult task.^[15]

In fiscal 2012, the JR East station was used by an average of 57,439 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).^[16] The JR East passenger figures for previous years are as shown below.

TheNissan Stadium (formerly International Stadium Yokohama), the largest stadium in Japan with a capacity of 72,327 seats, was host to the2002 FIFA World Cup final match and is the home of theYokohama F Marinos soccer team. The Nissan Stadium,Yokohama Arena, andYokohama Rosai Hospital are each about a 10-minute walk from the station. TheShin-Yokohama Rāmen Museum is about a 5-minute walk from the station.
