History
The Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) station opened on 8 June 1988, as the southern terminus of the Yūrakuchō Line.[1]
On 1 December 1988, JR East opened its Shin-Kiba Station platforms as the western terminus of the Keiyō Line. The Keiyō Line was extended from Shin-Kiba Station to Tokyo Station from 10 March 1990.
The TWR station opened on 30 March 1996, as the eastern terminus of the Rinkai Line.[1] From 1 December 2002, JR Saikyō Line trains were extended to operate over the Rinkai Line to Shin-Kiba Station.
Station numbering was introduced to the Rinkai Line platforms in 2016 with Shin-Kiba being assigned station number R01.[2] Later in 2016 the JR East platforms were assigned station number JE05 for the Keiyo Line.[3][4]
