Iidabashi St. - Shinjuku City

The one with the large overpass is the east exit from Suidobashi.

We use every day.

One of the most difficult stations inside the Yamanote Line A talented young stationmaster succeeds in the future ■ November 2020 ■ There is a good story at JR East "Iidabashi" station. The employees at that time were replaced, and no one was involved. It's a strange story for me as an outsider to write. ■ The platform that once stretched to the east of the station had a large bend to the south. The space between the vehicle and the platform was wide, and there were many accidents that caught my foot. In addition, there was a school for the visually impaired nearby, and it was necessary to pay close attention to safety confirmation. ■ The stationmaster, 34 years old, was assigned to such a difficult station. Did you come from Tokyo Station and was a first-year student hiring potential? Even veteran employees at the time demonstrated strong leadership that they admired. For example, in the first year when the training system for service caregivers started, 11 people including themselves acquired qualifications. Even at a large station, despite the frame of several people every year. There is an easy-to-check "stand" on the platform. We have succeeded in preventing accidents with various ingenuity, and we have produced elite home staff. This was before the widespread use of platform doors as it is now. ■ We will further promote the plan to move the platform to the west, aiming to reduce the bending of the platform. I would like to note that I made all possible preparations, such as surveying and completing the blueprint, and prospered as the person in charge of the "Station Renaissance Project" without waiting for the start of construction. ■ After a considerable amount of time, a new station building has been built on the east side of the station, and it is finally showing its full potential. Restaurants and cafes with good views will open soon. Seats in "Train View" in good condition are rarer than expected. A modern dining room that incorporates the taste of Kagurazaka French will appear. ■ It is a very dramatic design, such as a new entrance connected to a scenic bridge. Link to Yasukuni Shrine and Kudan from the redeveloped area of ​​Kagurazaka to the north and skyscrapers to the south. The excavated Edo Castle stone wall is also preserved, and it is extremely symbolic as an approach to the historic city. Heisei Project X. The baton has been handed down to the younger generation, and JR East stations and station buildings have been reborn as attractive facilities with the ability to disseminate information one after another. Station Renaissance, The unknown first train station.

It's been under construction all the time. If you enter from the ticket gate on the Suidobashi station side, the train will not stop even though the platform is there. Please move to the Ichigaya station side immediately. By the way, on the Suidobashi station side, there was a platform in a curved place, and I feel that there was a big step with the train. I wonder if there is a solution.

The west exit was renewed in July ? A rice ball shop has been opened in the bakery and the ticket gate. However, the distance from the east exit to the platform has increased. The west exit is close to Canal Cafe, Sotobori Park with beautiful cherry blossoms, Tokyo Daijingu, and Kagurazaka. From the east exit, you can walk to Tokyo Dome. There are many lines on the JR and subway lines, so it's a convenient station ?

To go from Iidabashi to Kagurazaka, the west exit side of Iidabashi, which is closer to Kagurazaka after a long time, is pretty clean and easy to use!

Transfer is convenient. It is safe because the platform door is also installed. However, the platform on the Yurakucho Line is narrow and difficult to walk.
