Tokyo Teleport Station (東京テレポート駅, Tōkyō Terepōto eki) is an underground railway station on the Rinkai Line in Kōtō, Tokyo, Japan, operated by Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit (TWR).
Tokyo Teleport Station is served by the Rinkai Line from Ōsaki to Shin-Kiba. The station is situated between Tennōzu Isle and Kokusai-Tenjijō stations, and is 4.9 km (3.0 mi) from the starting point of the Rinkai Line at Shin-Kiba. [1]
Many trains inter-run over the JR East Saikyo Line and Kawagoe Line to Kawagoe in Saitama Prefecture.
The station has a single underground island platform serving two tracks. [1]
The station opened on 30 March 1996, [2] and initially formed the terminus of the line from Shin-Kiba before it was extended to Osaki. [1]
Station numbering was introduced in 2016 with Shinonome being assigned station number R04. [3]
There is a bus station adjacent, which serves as the terminus to three routes (two of which are numbered 01, preceded by a kanji character). The more regular service runs to Monzen-nakacho Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line and the Toei Oedo Line.
Attractions, including shopping centres, in the vicinity include:
Kyōto Station is a major railway station and transportation hub in Kyōto, Japan. It has Japan's second-largest station building and is one of the country's largest buildings, incorporating a shopping mall, hotel, movie theater, Isetan department store, and several local government facilities under one 15-story roof. It also housed the Kyōto City Air Terminal until August 31, 2002.
Ueno Station is a major railway station in Tokyo's Taitō ward. It is the station used to reach the Ueno district and Ueno Park—which contains Tokyo National Museum, The National Museum of Western Art, Ueno Zoo, Tokyo University of the Arts and other famous cultural facilities. A major commuter hub, it is also the traditional terminus for long-distance trains from northern Japan, although with the extension of the Shinkansen lines to Tokyo Station this role has diminished in recent years. A similar extension of conventional lines extended Takasaki Line, Utsunomiya Line and Jōban Line services to Tokyo Station via the Ueno-Tokyo Line in March 2015, using existing little-used tracks and a new viaduct; the Ueno-Tokyo Line connects these lines with the Tōkaidō Main Line, allowing through services to Shinagawa, Yokohama, Odawara and Atami stations.
The Rinkai Line is a railway line in Tokyo, Japan. It is the only line operated by the third-sector company Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit.

It provides the main rail access to the Tokyo Disney Resort and the Makuhari Messe exhibition center. The terminus at Tokyo Station is located underground, some distance to the south of the main station complex approximately halfway to Yūrakuchō Station. This means transferring between other lines at Tokyo Station can take between 15 and 20 minutes. The name "Keiyō" is derived from the second character of the names of the locations linked by the line, Tokyo (東京) and Chiba (千葉). It should not be confused with the Keiō Line, a privately operated commuter line in western Tokyo.
