Kitashinagawa Station, meaning "North Shinagawa", is in fact located south of the Shinagawa Station. This is due to the fact that Kitashinagawa refers to its position in the Shinagawa Ward while the confusingly named Shinagawa Station is in the neighboring Minato Ward.
Lines
Kitashinagawa Station is served by the Keikyū Main Line, and is located 1.9 km from the starting point of the line at Sengakuji.[1]

Layout
This station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. Adjacent to the platforms on the west side is a two track siding, used for storing maintenance equipment.
Keikyu introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Kitashinagawa was assigned station number KK02.[2]
The station is undergoing a reconstruction and will feature elevated platforms as part of Keikyu's Continuous Grade Separation project. [3]
