History

Shinjuku Station is one of the busiest and most important railway stations in Tokyo, Japan. Its history dates back to the late 19th century when Japan began to modernize and expand its railway network. The station has undergone significant developments and expansions over the years to become the massive transportation hub it is today.

Early History: Shinjuku Station first opened in 1885 as a small station called "Shinjuku Shuku," serving as a stop on the railway line connecting Tokyo (then called Edo) to Takadanobaba. At that time, it was a wooden structure and catered to the needs of a smaller population.
