Tōkyū Tamagawa Line


The Tokyu Tamagawa Line is a commuter railway line in Japan owned by private railway operator Tokyu Corporation. It runs between Tamagawa and Kamata in southwest Tokyo, entirely within Ōta ward. The operator's name, Tokyu, is included in the formal name of this line.
It was formed in 2000 from the western portion of the Tokyu Mekama Line, which was then rerouted west of Tamagawa station and renamed the Meguro Line.
This line should not be confused with the Tokyu Shin-Tamagawa Line, or the Tamagawa Line tramway which preceded that.

Current

The Tokyu Tamagawa Line was formed on 6 August 2000 with the splitting of the former Tokyu Mekama Line. Wanman driver-only operation also commenced on the line from this date.

Future plans

Plans exist to extend the line eastward by approximately 800 m from the southern terminus of the line at to Keikyu Kamata Station on the Keikyu Main Line and Keikyu Airport Line. This would provide an interchange between the lines, improving accessibility to Tokyo's Haneda Airport ahead of the 2020 Summer Olympics.
