Negishi Station (根岸駅 Negishi-eki?) is a railway station operated by JR East's Negishi Line located in Isogo-ku, Yokohama, Japan. It is 7.1 kilometers from the terminus of the Negishi Line at Yokohama Station and 66.2 kilometers from the terminus of the Keihin-Tōhoku Line at Ōmiya Station. The station is also a freight terminal on the Japan Freight Railway Company, as well as the terminus for the all-freight Honmoku Line of the Kanagawa Rinkai Railway.
Negishi Station was opened on May 19, 1964, as a station on the Japan National Railways (JNR) for both passenger and freight services. The Kanagawa Rinkai Railway's Honmoku Line, also for freight-only operations, began operations from Negishi on October 1, 1969. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) in 1987.
Negishi Station has an island platform serving two tracks for normal passenger operations, and an additional five tracks for freight operations.
