Umi-Shibaura Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Umi-Shibaura Station (海芝浦駅, -eki?) is a train station on the Tsurumi Line in Yokohama, Japan. It is operated by East Japan Railway Company, and is the terminus of the Umi-Shibaura branch of the Tsurumi line.
It is famous for being located inside Toshiba's factory, making it impossible for outsiders to exit the station.
[edit] Structure
A single platform serves one line for trains in both directions. The exit is located opposite the buffer stop, where there is a simplified Suica machine.
