Tamachi Station (田町駅; -eki) is a station on the Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku lines located in Tokyo's Minato-ku.

Lines

Tamachi is served by the Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku lines. All trains call at Tamachi.

Mita Station (三田駅) on the Toei Asakusa and Mita underground (subway) lines is within walking distance, although there is no physical connection and the stations are generally not marked as an interchange on route maps.

Layout

The station consists of two platforms with cross-platform interchange in the direction of travel between the Yamanote line (platforms 2 and 3) and the Keihin-Tohoku line (platforms 1 and 4). As this is the first cross-platform interchange following the intersection of both lines the platforms are comparatively busy.

Adjacent Stations

Akihabara is also known as Akihabara Electric Town (Akihabara Denki Gai). It is located less than five minutes by rail from Tokyo station, Tokyo, Japan. It is sometimes shortened to Akiba by locals. While there is an official locality named Akihabara nearby, part of Taito-ku, the area known as Akihabara (including the JR railway station of the same name) to most people is actually Soto-Kanda, a part of Chiyoda-ku.
