Tōkyū Tamagawa Line


The Tōkyū 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, Tōkyū, is included in the formal name of this line.
It was formed in 2000 from the western portion of the Tōkyū 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.

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, a project known as the Kama-Kama Line. This would provide an interchange between the lines, improving accessibility to Tokyo's Haneda Airport ahead of the 2020 Summer Olympics. The plans did not materialize in time for the 2020 Summer Olympics., Ōta Ward has agreed with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to pay 70% of the project cost of while having the city government responsible for the remaining 30%.
