Excellent example. My onetime Japanese distributor was walking distance from Shin-Yokohama station and I would never have guessed the history

>Shin-Yokohama Station opened on 1 October 1964, with the opening of the Tokaido Shinkansen.[4] At the time, the surrounding area was completely rural, and the site was selected as it was the intersection of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen tracks with the existing Yokohama Line
