Location
History
Kitashinagawa Station opened on 8 May 1904 as the original Shinagawa terminus of the Keihin Electric Railway, located at the southern foot of Yatsuyamabashi bridge. In April 1924 the station was relocated about 200 metres toward Kanagawa to clear road-improvement works on Route 15, and on 11 March 1925 it was renamed Kitashinagawa when the line was extended on street trackage to Takanawa. Continuous grade-separation work between Shinagawa and Shinbamba stations began on 1 April 2020, and on 27 February 2026 an IC-card-only east-side ticket gate opened ahead of the planned elevated rebuild.
Notes
The station is named "North Shinagawa" but sits south of Shinagawa Station: it stands at the northern end of Shinagawa-juku, the old Tōkaidō post town, and its site was Kita-Shinagawa-shuku in the town of Shinagawa, Ebara District, when it opened. Shinagawa Station itself lies in Takanawa, in neighbouring Minato Ward.
