**Tokyo Freight Terminal** (東京貨物ターミナル駅, *Tōkyō Kamotsu Tāminaru Eki*) is a railway freight terminal operated by [Japan Freight Railway Company](/source/Japan_Freight_Railway_Company) (JR Freight) located in the Yashio district of [Shinagawa, Tokyo](/source/Shinagawa,_Tokyo), east of Omori and north of [Haneda Airport](/source/Haneda_Airport).

It is the largest rail freight terminal in Japan and principally handles freight traffic to and from western Japan via the [Tōkaidō Main Line](/source/T%C5%8Dkaid%C5%8D_Main_Line). A number of companies operate dedicated [logistics](/source/Logistics) facilities at the station, including [Yamato Transport](/source/Yamato_Transport), [Sagawa Express](/source/Sagawa_Express), [Nippon Express](/source/Nippon_Express), and [Kintetsu World Express](/source/Kintetsu_World_Express).

The terminal is adjacent to the [Tōkaidō Shinkansen](/source/T%C5%8Dkaid%C5%8D_Shinkansen) Tokyo Depot. The closest passenger station is [Ryūtsū Center Station](/source/Ry%C5%ABts%C5%AB_Center_Station) on the [Tokyo Monorail](/source/Tokyo_Monorail). The branch line on which the terminal is situated also originally extended from Tokyo Freight Terminal up to the [Shiodome Freight Terminal](/source/Shiodome_Freight_Terminal) (the site of the original [Shimbashi Station](/source/Shimbashi_Station)) until its closure in 1986.

JR East plans to use this station to create the [Haneda Airport Access Line](/source/Haneda_Airport_Access_Line).[1]

## History

Tokyo Freight Terminal opened on 1 October 1973.[2] The station was absorbed into the JR Freight network upon the [privatization](/source/Privatization) of JNR on 1 April 1987.
