### Introducing

The Yokosuka Line is a 23.9 km long line connecting Kurihama Station in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture and Ōfuna Station in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Although the official name of Ōfuna Station to Tōkyō Station is Tōkaido main line, trains run directly from Kurihama Station to Tōkyō Station, so the line between Kurihama and Tōkyō Stations is known as the Yokosuka Line.

In 1980, the Sobu Rapid Line started direct service from Tōkyō Station to Chiba, and it can go to Chiba and Narita Airport and other areas in Chiba Prefecture. The Narita Express, a limited express train bound for Narita Airport, and other trains with various destinations can be seen.

In 2001, the Shōnan Shinjuku Line began direct service from Zushi Station to Utsunomiya Station, providing convenient access to Shinjuku Station and other Tōkyō subcenters and to the Utsunomiya Line.

The train leaves Kurihama Station for Yokohama Station via Yokosuka Station, a military port town; Kamakura Station, famous for the Daibutsu statue and Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine; and Ōfuna Station, where the train joins the Tōkaidō Main Line.

After Yokohama Station, the line separates from the Tōkaidō Main Line near Tsurumi Station and heads for Shinagawa via Shin-Kawasaki Station and Musashi-Kosugi Station, where the Shin-Tsurumi Engine Works is spead, while running alongside the Tōkaidō Shinkansen.

After Shinagawa Station, the line goes underground to Tōkyō Station, its final destination.

We hope you enjoy the various landscapes from the suburbs to the city and the many parallel trains.
