According to Mainichi English version.
Takanawa was the No. 1 choice of people, with 8,398 entries, while Takanawa Gateway placed 130th with 36 entries. JR East decided to name the new station as Takanawa Gateway as it is expected to become a major transportation hub, given its close location to Tokyo's Haneda airport as well as Shinagawa Station, where a new maglev train line is scheduled to open in 2027.
