Toyosu Station
Toyosu Station is a station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and the eastern terminus of the Yurikamome Line. It is located in Tokyo's Koto Ward in the middle of an area of highrise residential and commercial development on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay. Both stations have been built with future extensions of their respective lines in mind

Yurakucho Line Station
The Yurakucho line station (station code Y-22) was opened in 1998 as part of the Yurakucho Line's eastwards extension towards Shin-Kiba. The station has two parallel platforms but the centre pair of trackbeds are unused; they are intended to serve as the starting point of a branch in the direction of Sumiyoshi. However no definite plans exist to construct this extension.
Yurikamome Station
The Yurikamome station (station code U15) was opened in 2006 as the provisional terminal for the extension from Ariake. Plans exist to extend the line further in the direction of Kachidoki, and a short section of curved track exists beyond the current end of the line indicating the future direction of the route.
Surroundings and Attractions
Let's be honest, there is not much to do or see around here, unless you are a fan of uninspiring high-rise buildings. There is a Lalaport(LalaportToyosu) close to the station which might come in useful for a spot of retail therapy if that is your thing.
