JR East

[edit]

The JR East station consists of two ground-level side platforms on either side of an island platform, serving four tracks in total.


1 JY Yamanote Line for Shinjuku and Ikebukuro
2 JY Yamanote Line for Shibuya and Shinagawa
3 JB Chūō-Sōbu Line for Shinjuku, Nakano, and Mitaka

Chest-high platform edge doors were installed on the Yamanote Line platforms in September 2015, and brought into use from October.[1]

There are three exits: East exit, West exit, and North exit. The latter two provide easy access to the Oedo line.

The Toei Oedo Line station has one underground island platform serving two tracks.


1 E Ōedo Line for Roppongi
2 E Ōedo Line for Hikarigaoka

History

[edit]

The station first opened on 23 October 1906 by a private company as a station on the Chūō Main Line, but was nationalized only a week later when the Japanese National Railways (JNR) took over the company and all of its assessments. The underground Toei Ōedo Line station opened on 20 April 2000.[2]

Station numbering was introduced to the JR East platforms in 2016 with Yoyogi being assigned station numbers JB11 for the Chūō-Sobu line, and JY18 for the Yamanote line.[3][4]
