New JR station 「高輪ゲートウェイ」/ “Takanawa Gateway”
JR East will open new station between Shinagawa and Tamachi in 2020. Was announced that the name of the new station will be「高輪ゲートウェイ」("Takanawa Geetowei" or Takanawa Gateway).

JR East has asked public input for the name of the new station. Most popular was 「高輪」(Takanawa), which is name of the area west of the station. Second popular was 「芝浦」(Shibaura) and third was 「芝浜」(Shibahama).
JR East took most popular choice Takanawa and added "Gateway" because according to JR East it is close to Haneda Airport and also Shinagawa will be terminal station for new Linear Shinkansen.
