History

Shibuya Station opened on 1 March 1885 as a stop on the Nippon Railway's Shinagawa Line, the precursor to today's Yamanote Line. Daily traffic in those years averaged eighteen passengers. The Nippon Railway was nationalised in 1906, and the platforms were elevated in August 1920 ahead of quadruple-tracking. The Toyoko Line arrived in 1927, the Inokashira Line in 1933, and the Tokyo Rapid Railway (today's Ginza Line) in 1938. Postwar additions included the Den-en-toshi Line (1977), Hanzomon Line (1978), and Fukutoshin Line (2008). Tokyu and JR East have been rebuilding the complex since the mid-2010s; the Ginza Line platforms shifted east on 3 January 2020, and the Saikyo/Shonan-Shinjuku platforms moved alongside the Yamanote platforms on 1 June 2020.

Notes

Shibuya Station's combined daily traffic, counting through-services, is second only to Shinjuku Station among railway stations worldwide.
