Location
History
Shibuya Station opened on 1 March 1885 as a stop on the Nippon Railway's Shinagawa Line, the precursor to today's Yamanote Line. Daily traffic in those first years averaged sixteen to seventeen passengers. The Nippon Railway was nationalised in 1906, and the platforms were elevated in August 1920 ahead of quadruple-tracking. The Toyoko Line arrived in 1927, the Inokashira Line in 1933, and the Tokyo Rapid Railway (today's Ginza Line) in 1938. Postwar additions included the Den-en-toshi Line (1977), Hanzomon Line (1978), and Fukutoshin Line (2008). Tokyu and JR East have been rebuilding the complex since the 2010s; the Ginza Line's new station building entered service on 3 January 2020, replacing two side platforms with a single island platform, and the Saikyo/Shonan-Shinjuku platforms moved about 350 m north, alongside the Yamanote platforms, on 1 June 2020.
Notes
Shibuya Station's combined daily traffic, counting through-services, is second only to Shinjuku Station among railway stations worldwide.
