Railways

Lines and stations across Tokyo and the Kanto region — from the Yamanote loop to the subways and the great terminals.

Takanawa Gateway Station / Takanawa Gateway City Minato City Opened in March 2020 as a new stop on the Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku lines, Takanawa Gateway Station features a dramatic origami-inspired roof designed by Kengo Kuma. It anchors the Takanawa Gateway City redevelopment — a 9.5-hectare project on a former JR depot site transforming the gap between Shinagawa and Tamachi.

Ueno Station Taito City Opened in 1883 and the main gateway to northeastern Japan for over a century, Ueno Station holds 22 platforms across three distinct levels — elevated, ground-level, and underground. Its dead-end ground-floor platforms, a legacy of the Ueno hillside hemming in the site, carry the quiet memory of all the terminus trains that once terminated here.

Shibuya Station Redevelopment Shibuya City Opened in 1885, Shibuya Station serves four operators across nine lines. Its bowl-shaped valley terrain — with platforms stacked across 30-plus metres of elevation — makes the ongoing reconstruction one of the most complex urban rail projects in Japan. Full completion is targeted for fiscal 2034.

Shinjuku Station Shinjuku City Opened in 1885, Shinjuku Station is served by five operators across 36 platforms and holds Guinness World Records certification as the world's busiest railway terminal. The Shinjuku Grand Terminal plan — anchored by a 48-storey tower and an east–west pedestrian deck — is under construction with the tower due in fiscal 2029.

Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building Chiyoda City A red-brick landmark opened in 1914, designed by Kingo Tatsuno. Designated an Important Cultural Property in 2003, it was restored in 2012 to its original three-story form with the south and north domes rebuilt.
