Umi-Shibaura Station, Dead-end railway station in Suehirochō, Japan
Umi-Shibaura Station is a terminal stop in Suehirochō, Yokohama, with a single platform built directly above the Keihin Canal. The platform provides open views across Tokyo Bay and the surrounding industrial waterfront.
The station opened in November 1940 as part of the Tsurumi Rinkō Railway. Three years later, it became part of Japanese National Railways through nationalization.
The Ministry of Transport included this station in the prestigious list of 100 Greatest Stations in Kanto, recognizing its exceptional location and design.
Access requires taking a Tsurumi Line train, as no footpath or road connects to the station. Outside rush hours, trains run roughly once per hour.
The station sits within Toshiba company property and passengers cannot leave the platform without employee identification. Only workers with company credentials can pass through the gates beyond the platform area.
