Introducing

The Nambu Branch Line is a 4.1 km long line connecting Shitte Station in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture and Hama-Kawasaki Station in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

It does not operate directly with the Nambu Line, but operates a short distance to Hama-Kawasaki Station as a branch line that splits from the Nambu Line's Shitte Station. The opening of a new station, Odasakae Station, in March 2016 was also a major topic of conversation. The line runs between industrial areas and quiet residential areas.
