Starbucks Stamp Collector's Shinagawa Post Town Exploration Log
Shinagawa, the southern gateway to Tokyo.
With its dual identity as an office district and a Shinkansen terminal, this area is home to many Starbucks locations.
Whether between business meetings, under rows of cherry trees, or while waiting for the Shinkansen,
holding a cup of Starbucks coffee is a scene that fits this place perfectly.
Here, I will introduce
three of these locations
.
—Shinagawa Intercity Store
• Number of visits: 1
• Last visited: March 2025
The familiar "
Shinagawa Intercity" for office workers.
Passing through the valley of skyscrapers, you'll find cherry blossoms in spring and lush greenery in summer.If you step outside with a coffee in hand here, you'll feel like you're having a little picnic in the middle of the city.
It's the perfect spot for a breather before a business trip or to reset after work.

JR Tokai Shinagawa Station Store
• Number of visits: 1
• Last visited: November 2024
In honor of the history of "Shinagawa Post Town," this store is designed with the concept of a "
modern post town." It's a lively atmosphere, frequented by commuters and tourists
as well as Shinkansen passengers. Being able to feel the story of a place where travelers once rested, and where baristas now brew coffee, is something unique to Shinagawa Station.

JR Tokai Shinagawa Station Inside Ticket Gate Store
• Number of visits: 1
• Last visited: July 2025
The Shinkansen North Gate is a small store right after you enter. Located next to the waiting room, it is truly an "
oasis just before departure
." Even in a last-minute situation where you have "5 minutes until departure
," it's appreciated that the staff is mindful of the time.
Enjoying Starbucks on the Shinkansen—that alone turns travel time into a little bit of a journey.

Conclusion
Shinagawa's Starbucks locations each have different roles: • Intercity, where you can feel nature outside • Inside-station stores that focus on history and travel • Inside-gate stores for last-minute needs directly connected to the Shinkansen
Even though the act of "
drinking coffee
" is the same, the story changes depending on where you drink it. That was the fun of the
Shinagawa stamp
