Shinozaki Station (篠崎)
Shinozaki is the easternmost station in Tokyo, and for two and a half years it was also the end of the Toei Shinjuku Line. It opened on 14 September 1986 as the terminus, 20.7 km from Shinjuku, and became an intermediate stop on 19 March 1989 when the line was extended to Motoyawata.
A single island platform sits below ground just north of National Route 14 and the Komatsugawa expressway. Only local trains call at S20, with one exception that says a good deal about the neighborhood: on the first Saturday in August, express trains stop here as well, for the Edogawa fireworks. The west gate on the Twin Place side was added on 20 May 2008 and platform doors came into use on 19 May 2018. Toei counted 39,512 passengers a day in 2024.
Finding Shinozaki 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 Shinozaki
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.
