The name of Shinagawa Station is derived from the name of the local neighborhood since ancient times: Shinagawa-juku, Shukuba-cho, Tokaido, and Shinagawa-minato, a place name along the coast of Edo Bay on the north side. During the Edo period, due to restrictions on the passage of passengers by sea in Edo Bay, passengers who were heading south from Edo Bay, such as Daisen and Mt. Fuji, had to disembark on the north side of the Shinagawa-juku entrance and take the overland route to Kanagawa juku via Shinagawa-juku on the Tokaido.

Edo Bay, on the north side of the Meguro River estuary, where Shinagawa-juku is located, is a shallow beach that cannot be accessed by large ships on the ocean route, so it is a place where large and small ships can exchange their cargo.

Shinagawa Station is not located in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, but in Minato-ku, Tokyo. This is due to the fact that at the time of its opening, the area near the mouth of the Meguro River was called "Shinagawa Minato", and it was part of "Shinagawa Prefecture" when Shinagawa Station was planned to be built.

Kita-Shinagawa Station on the Keikyu Main Line to the south of this station is named after the place name Shinagawa-juku-shinagawa in Tokaido, Shukuba-cho, Shinagawa-juku, and Kita-Shinagawa since the Edo period.
