This is JR Shinagawa Station. It is NOT a subway station. It's not even part of the Tokyo Metro or Toei Subway systems. One cool note is the bottom left and right sides are entrances to the Shinkansen, Japan's Bullet Train.

BJ subway now handles 10 millions a day with peak around 14m.

[chrismoran]

I would not shower of wash my clothes for a month and roll around in the dirt just before I get on a train at this station.

[Otaku-gfiq]

This is not a subway station. Shinagawa is a rail station not at ALL a subway
