Tamachi Station (田町駅, Tamachi-eki) is a railway station in the Tamachi neighborhood of Minato, Tokyo, Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East).
As this is the first cross-platform interchange following the intersection of both lines the platforms are comparatively busy.
The Tokaido Main Line opened in 1872 and passed through Tamachi, which was at the time still submerged under Tokyo Bay.
[2] The area surrounding the station was predominantly industrial until the 1970s, with several confectionery, electronics and machinery factories.
The west side of Tamachi underwent a major redevelopment from 1988, resulting in the current elevated deck and pedestrian bridge over the adjacent Dai-Ichi Keihin road.
