Kitashinagawa Station, meaning "North Shinagawa", is in fact located south of the Shinagawa Station. This is due to the fact that Kitashinagawa refers to its position in Shinagawa-ku, while the confusingly named Shinagawa Station is in neighboring Minato-ku.

Lines

Kitashinagawa Station is served by the Keikyū Main Line, and is located 1.9 km from the starting point of the line at Sengakuji.[1]
