Shiomi Station, Elevated railway station in Koto, Tokyo, Japan
Shiomi Station is an elevated railway hub with one island platform serving two tracks of the Keiyo Line in eastern Tokyo. The structure rises above the surrounding urban landscape and houses ticket machines and waiting areas for passengers.
The station was built in 1990 as part of Tokyo's railway expansion into eastern districts during that period. This new facility helped manage growing traffic in the developing port region.
The name Shiomi refers to the tidal currents of this port area, reflecting the close tie between the station and the local geography. Visitors notice how this name connects the transportation hub to the maritime heritage of Koto district.
The station has clearly marked entrances and connects to bus lines, making it a practical transfer point for travelers. Visitors should expect crowded conditions during peak hours when many people board and exit.
The station received the code JE04 in 2016 when East Japan Railway introduced a new numbering system across its network. This system helps travelers quickly identify the station's location and avoid confusion with other similarly named stops.
