Mita Station

Mita Station (三田駅, Mita-eki) is a subway station in Minato, Tokyo, Japan, operated by Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei). It is adjacent to Tamachi Station on the Yamanote Line and Keihin-Tōhoku Line and is a major station for commuters due to the proximity of many office and condominium developments. It is also the closest station to the main campus of Keio University.

Despite its name, the station is not located in Mita, but in the neighboring Shiba district.
