Kitashinagawa Station (北品川駅, Kitashinagawa-eki) is a railway station on the Keikyū Main Line in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan, operated by Keikyu. It is numbered KK02.
Kitashinagawa Station, meaning "North Shinagawa", is in fact located south of the Shinagawa Station. This is because Kitashinagawa refers to its position in the Shinagawa Ward while the confusingly named Shinagawa Station is in the neighboring Minato Ward.

Layout
