Station layout

JR East

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

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.

Toei

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

History

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]
