Shiodome Station (汐留)
Both halves of this station were finished years before anyone could use them. The Yurikamome structure was ready on 1 November 1995 and the Oedo Line’s on 12 December 2000, the latter opening as a signal station rather than a stop, but the Shiodome district above was still a building site with no finished access, so neither took passengers. They opened together on 2 November 2002, which makes E19 the newest station on the Toei subway.
The Oedo platform is a single island, and the station has no street entrances of its own: its gates open into the Shiodome underground walkway, whose exits, numbered 1 to 10, serve as the station’s. Shiosite is its secondary name, after the district. Sidings towards Tsukijishijo stable a train between the end of one day’s service and the start of the next, and a connecting track from here is how Oedo stock reaches the Magome depot on the Asakusa Line. Toei counted 39,331 passengers a day in 2024.
Finding Shiodome on the signs
Every line gives the station its own letter-and-number code. You never have to read the Japanese name to find the right platform.
Station numbers at Shiodome
Tokyo signposts every platform, exit and train door with a letter and a two-digit number. Matching the number is faster than reading the name — and it is what you will see on the map, in announcements and on the platform edge.
First and last trains at Shiodome
Departure times come from the operators’ own GTFS timetables (ODPT GTFS Toei-Train-GTFS (version 20261009, valid 2026-03-14..2027-03-12) + TokyoMetro-Train-GTFS (version 20261008, valid 2026-09-19..2027-03-12)). Japan publishes two subway timetables: 平日 weekdays and 土休日 Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. There is no separate Sunday timetable, and the December 30 – January 3 period runs the holiday timetable.

Frequently asked questions
The structures were built ahead of the district around them. Yurikamome’s was complete in 1995 and the Oedo Line’s in 2000, but Shiodome was still being redeveloped and the streets that would reach the entrances did not yet exist, so both stayed closed until the area opened in November 2002.
Not formally. Shimbashi is very close and the underground walkway links the two, but they are separate stations with no joint ticketing arrangement. The Yurikamome and Oedo halves of Shiodome itself are not directly connected either, so changing between them means coming up to ground level.
