Musashi-Kosugi Station (武蔵小杉駅 Musashi-Kosugi-eki?) is a railway interchange station located in Nakahara Ward of eastern Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and the private railway operator Tokyu Corporation.
Musashi-Kosugi Station is served by JR East's Nambu Line, Yokosuka Line, and Shōnan-Shinjuku Line, as well as Tokyu's Tōyoko Line and Meguro Line.
JR Musashi-Kosugi Station has two opposed side platforms serving the two tracks (Platform 1 and Platform 2) of the Nambu Line and one island platform serving the two tracks (Platform 3 and Platform 4) of the Yokosuka Line. The Shōnan-Shinjuku Line and Narita Express share the Yokosuka Line platforms. The two sections of the JR station are located separately and connected by a 400 m long passage. All platforms are elevated, as is the station building.
Tokyu Musashi-Kosugi Station has two island platforms serving four tracks. The outer tracks (Platform 1 and Platform 4) are used by the Tokyu Toyoko Line, and the inner tracks (Platform 2 and Platform 3) are used by the Tokyu Meguro Line. All platforms are elevated, as is the station building.
The area around the station was served by the Nambu and Toyoko lines since the 1920s, but over an extended period of time it was integrated as Musashi-Kosugi Station in 1945. Since then, the station has functioned as a major transfer point for people residing in Kawasaki (along the Nambu Line) who commute to Tokyo.
