Choose the name of the next train station in Tokyo

Choose the name of the next train station in Tokyo

The latest major train station in Tokyo will open on the Yamanote Line, the JR railway link that forms a circular loop around the center of the city.

In 2020, the twentieth station in the line will open between Shinagawa and Tamachi stations with a building designed by Kengo Kuma.

But here’s the rub. JR East still doesn’t have a name for its station and it has until now been referred to mostly as “Shinagawa New Station.”
