The Narita Line runs along the Tone River after leaving Matsugishi Station.The line heads for Narita Station via Katori Station, the gateway to Katori Jingu Shrine, one of the three shrines in the eastern part of Japan; Sawara Station, where you can enjoy the atmosphere of a Koedo town; and Shimōsa-Kōzaki Station, the nearest station to the historic sake brewery town.The long, quiet stretch of fields stretches all the way to Narita Station.From Narita Station to Sakura Station, the “Narita Express” express train runs between central Tokyo and Narita Airport, making this a busy section with many trains. ### Key data - Line Length: 94.7 km - Number of stations: 22 - Safety system: ATS-P - Train model: [209-2100 serie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/209_series) (4 cars) - Max speed: - Choshi - Matsugishi: 95 km/h - Matsugishi - Narita: 85 km/h - Narita - Chiba: 110 km/h - Max speed after signals: - Reduced speed (green/yellow): 65 km/h → Narita → 75 km/h - Caution (yellow): 45 km/h → Narita → 55 km/h - Speed restriction (yellow/yellow): 25 km/h - Routes: - Chōshi ~ Chiba (436M) : Local train - 22 stations - 94.7 km - Chōshi ~ Chiba (450M) : Local train - 22 stations - 94.7 km - Chōshi ~ Narita (2446M) : Local train - 15 stations - 65.5 km - Chōshi ~ Narita (2462M) : Local train - 15 stations - 65.5 km - In-train announcements : Yes - Driver announcement ([pointing-and-calling](https://bookstack.cracrayol.org/books/jr-east-train-simulator-english/page/pointing-and-calling)) : Yes ### Stations list
