Yoyogi Station (代々木駅 Yoyogi-eki?) is a railway station in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei). It is station E-26 under Toei's numbering system.

The JR East station consists of two ground-level side platforms on either side of an island platform, serving four tracks in total.


Chest-high platform edge doors were installed on the Yamanote Line platforms in September 2015, and brought into use from October.

There are three exits: East exit, West exit, and North exit. The latter two provide easy access to the Ōedo line.

The Toei Ōedo Line station has one underground island platform serving two tracks.


The station first opened on 23 October 1906 by a private company as a station on the Chūō Main Line, but was nationalized only a week later when the Japanese National Railways (JNR) took over the company and all of its assessments. The underground Toei Ōedo Line station opened on 20 April 2000.
