• Tōkaidō Main Line: Tamachi ⇄ Shinagawa

Takanawa Gateway Station opened on 14 March 2020 between Tamachi and Shinagawa, built over the former Tamachi rail depot. It is the newest stop on both the Yamanote and Keihin–Tōhoku lines and the only Yamanote station to open in the 21st century. JR East ran a public name-vote in 2018, but the announced choice — placing 130th out of 13,228 suggestions — drew loud objections, including a 47,930-signature petition. The architect Kengo Kuma designed the steel-and-membrane building, which combines a 1,000-square-metre atrium with timber from Minamisanriku in Tōhoku. The southern entrance and the surrounding Takanawa Gateway City project opened to the public on 27 March 2025.

JR East's public name vote drew 64,052 suggestions; "Takanawa Gateway" came 130th with just 36 votes, against 8,398 for plain "Takanawa".
