Tokyo Monorail will open part of the new station building at Monorail Hamamatsucho Station for use starting June 13.
The new North Gate and Central Gate will enter service, while the current Central Exit ticket gate and South Exit ticket gate will be closed. As part of the Hamamatsucho Station West Exit redevelopment project in Tokyo, reconstruction work on the station building is underway. Following the opening of a new transfer ticket gate and partial changes to the station’s internal layout around spring 2027, the goal is to complete the entire project around 2030.
Based on a design philosophy that embodies the brand concept “Tokyo Monorail Theater,” formulated in March 2020, the station space aims to provide a “theatrical experiential value.” The interior and exterior finishes and lighting are designed so that passengers can feel elements of traditional Japanese aesthetics (“wa”) and the “drama of travel,” while also improving the convenience of transfers.
