Shimbashi Station
35°39′59″N 139°45′31″E / 35.666301°N 139.758679°E
Shimbashi station (Japanese: 新橋駅, Hepburn: Shinbashi-eki)(Literal: New Bridge Station) is a major interchange railway station in Tokyo's Minato Ward, located centrally and a 10-minute walk from the Ginza shopping district, directly south of Tokyo station.
Many train services such as limited express trains (except the Shōnan (train) service) and the JR East Keihin-Tōhoku Line rapid trains do not stop at this station. It is also served by Toei Subway's Asakusa Line and Tokyo Metro's Ginza Line. It is also relatively close to Uchisaiwaicho Station on the Toei Mita Line, located about 230 metres (750 ft) to the northwest, although it is not officially recognized as a transfer station and there is no transfer corridor between the two stations.
The JR East station consists of three surface platforms serving the Tōkaidō, Yamanote, and Keihin-Tōhoku lines, and an underground platform serving the Yokosuka Line.
Tokyo Metro operates in an underground station with two side platforms serving the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line.
Toei operates in an underground station with two side platforms serving the Toei Asakusa Line.
The terminus for the Yurikamome is an elevated station next to the JR station.
Shimbashi is the original terminus of Japan's first stretch of railway, the Tōkaidō Main Line, and is one of Japan's oldest stations (the oldest station being Shinagawa, a few kilometres down the line). The original Shimbashi Station, opened on October 10, 1872, was built some way to the east of the modern-day structure and was known as Shimbashi Teishajō (新橋停車場).
