Shinagawa Station (Japanese:品川駅,Hepburn:Shinagawa-eki) is a major railway station in theTakanawa and Konan districts ofMinato, Tokyo, Japan, operated byEast Japan Railway Company (JR East),Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central), and theprivate railway operatorKeikyu. TheTokaido Shinkansen and other trains to theMiura Peninsula,Izu Peninsula, and theTōkai region pass through here. Though a major station in Tokyo, Shinagawa is not served by theTokyo subway network. However, it is connected to theToei Asakusa Line via Keikyu through services.
Despite its name, the station is not located inShinagawa ward.Shinagawa is also commonly used to refer to the business district around the station, which is in Takanawa and Konan neighborhoods of Minato, directly north of Shinagawa ward.
This station is just south of a large yard complex consisting of Shinagawa Carriage Sidings, Shinagawa Locomotive Depot, and Tamachi Depot.
Shinagawa is served by the following lines:
JR Central announced in 2011 that Shinagawa will be the terminal for theChūō Shinkansen, amaglev line under construction and scheduled to begin service toNagoya in 2027.


Shinagawa is one of Japan's oldest stations, opened on 12 June 1872, when the service between Shinagawa and Yokohama provisionally started, four months before the inauguration of "Japan's first railway" betweenShimbashi and Yokohama through Shinagawa on 14 October 1872.[4]
Later on 1 March 1885, the Yamanote Line started operation.[5] Takanawa station of the Keikyu Line (then Keihin Railway Line) opened on 11 March 1924 across the street from Shinagawa station. Takanawa station was renamed Shinagawa station and moved to the current site on 1 April 1933.[6]
The Shinagawa station for theTokaido Shinkansen opened on 10 October 2003. Some services did not stop on the station for the until March 2008. It is said thatKasai Yoshiyuki [ja] influenced the construction of the station to encourage travelers to pickShinkansen over airplane as a form of transport. The Tokyo branch office of JR Central was built on top of the station.[7]
Keikyu introducedstation numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Shinagawa was assigned station number KK01.[8]
Station numbering was introduced to the JR East platforms in 2016 with Shinagawa being assigned station numbers JT03 for the Tokaido Line, JO17 for the Yokosuka Line, JK20 for the Keihin-Tohoku Line, and JY25 for the Yamanote Line. At the same time, JR East assigned the station a 3-letter code; Shinagawa was assigned the code "SGW".[9][10]
New ground level Keikyu platforms are currently undergoing construction and are expected to be completed around 2030 as part of the Keikyu's Continuous Grade Separation project.[11]
On 28 January 2022,Tokyo Metro announced that a 2.5 km (1.6 mi) spur line ofTokyo Metro Namboku Line fromShirokane-takanawa to Shinagawa would be built.[12] The extension is expected to cost¥131 billion (2021) (equivalent to¥142.46 billion or US$941.14 million in 2024)[13] and scheduled to begin revenue service in the mid-2030s. The subway line platforms will be in a cut and cover tunnel beneath the current station forecourt on the west side of the station.
The main JR station concourse is situated above the platforms running east–west across the breadth of the station. A freely traversable walkway divides the station into two sections. The southerly section contains a number of shops and market-style stalls which form the "e-cute" station complex.
Cross-platform interchange between theYamanote andKeihin-Tohoku lines is only available for Yamanote Line trains to Shibuya and Keihin-Tōhoku Line trains to Tokyo.
The Keikyu platforms are on the western side of the station at a higher level than the JR platforms. Some Keikyu trains terminate at Shinagawa while others continue on to join theToeiAsakusa Line atSengakuji.
The Shinkansen platforms were opened on October 1, 2003, to relievecongestion atTokyo Station. Platforms are on the east side of the station.
