List of East Japan Railway Company stations lists stations of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East), including lines serving the station and daily ridership.
The reported ridership is the most recent figure available, and represents average daily entries at each station, excluding in-system transfers. For âÂÂinterfaceâ stations that allow for through-servicing and transfers with other railways without exiting the station's paid areaâÂÂe.g., Ayase on the Chiyoda LineâÂÂthe reported ridership includes cross-company passengers on through-servicing trains (as part of trackage rights agreements) or transferring from other railways' trains without passing through faregates. For stations served by both Shinkansen and non-Shinkansen services, the reported ridership includes Shinkansen station entries.
For its services in the Greater Tokyo Area, JR East defines the Tokyo Suburban Area() for fare calculation purposes, roughly correlating with the Suica coverage area (as of 2012.03.17). However, Suica coverage does not extend to the Karasuyama Line, Kashima Line, and Kururi Line, which are considered part of the Tokyo Suburban Area. As of 2012.03.17, there are a total of 624 âÂÂuniqueâ passenger stations (i.e., counting stations served by multiple lines only once) in the Tokyo Suburban Area, excluding Shinkansen-only stations (e.g., Honjà Â-Waseda)
