Ōsaki Station (大崎駅, Ōsaki-eki^?) is a railway station in Tokyo's Shinagawa Ward. It is one of the stations where trains on the Yamanote Line loop are put into and taken out of service. Therefore, it has four tracks (two in each direction) for that line so as not to interfere with continuing trains (trains go several rounds before being taken out).

History

The station opened on February 25, 1901 as a station of Nippon Railway, which was nationalized in 1906. After only serving the Yamanote Line for a century, on December 1, 2002 new platforms for the Saikyō Line, the Rinkai Line and the Shōnan-Shinjuku Line opened on the west side of the station.
