Shinagawa (品川駅, shinagawa-eki^?) is the first major station south of Tokyo Station and is a major interchange for trains operated by JR East, JR Central and the Keihin Electric Express Railway Company. The Tōkaidō Shinkansen and other trains to the Miura Peninsula, Izu Peninsula and the Tōkai region of Honshū pass through here. It is known as the southern gateway to Tokyo. Despite its name, it is not located in Shinagawa Ward but just to the north in Minato Ward.

This station is just south of a large yard complex consisting of Shinagawa Carriage Sidings, Shinagawa Locomotive Depot, and Tamachi Depot.

[edit] History

Shinagawa is one of Japan's oldest stations, opened on June 12, 1872 (Gregorian calendar) when the service between Shinagawa and Yokohama provisionally started, four months before the inauguration of "Japan's first railway" between Shimbashi and Yokohama through Shinagawa on October 14, 1872. This line is a part of the Tōkaidō Main Line. Nothing remains of the original structure.

Later on March 1, 1885, the Yamanote Line started operation. Takanawa station of the Keikyu Line (then Keihin Railway Line) opened on March 11, 1924 across the street from Shinagawa station. Takanawa station was renamed Shinagawa station and moved to the current site on April 1, 1933.

Recently, in connection with the construction of the Shinkansen platforms, and also to improve access to the new commercial development "Shinagawa Intercity" (品川インターシティ[1]) on the eastern side of the station the station concourse (located above the platforms) has been extensively redeveloped.
