Accidents
JR East considered installing platform-edge doors at Shin-Koiwa as early as 2013 due to the large number of passenger accidents and suicides occurring at the station.[9] Between July 2011 and June 2013, 13 incidents occurred in which passengers were hit by trains at this station.[9] Katsushika Ward made an official request to JR East to install platform-edge doors at the station in July 2012.[9]
On 27 June 2013, at around 14:40, a man in his thirties jumped in front of a 12-car Narita Express Yokohama to Narita Airport service passing non-stop through the station. The man died and his body hit a woman standing on the platform, injuring her.[9]
In 2018, automatic platform gates were installed on the Sōbu Rapid Line platforms of the station. As the line's trains are Script error: No such module "convert". long,[10] the set of platform gates broke the world record for the longest platform doors at East Tsim Sha Tsui station in Hong Kong.[11]
