Tōkyū Den'en-Toshi Line, Commuter railway line in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
The Tōkyū Den'en-Toshi Line is a commuter railway that runs over 30 kilometers from central Shibuya in Tokyo to southwestern suburbs reaching Chūō-Rinkan in Kanagawa Prefecture. The route passes through residential districts and business areas, stopping at 27 stations along the way.
The original section between Shibuya and Futako-Tamagawa opened in 1907 under the Tamagawa Electric Railway. Over the following decades, the Tokyu Corporation extended the connection westward into the Kanagawa suburbs step by step.
The line serves residential neighborhoods and commercial centers, supporting daily life patterns of suburban communities in the Tokyo metropolitan region.
Trains run every few minutes during rush hours, so connections are usually easy to catch. The line carries heavy traffic, especially in the morning and evening, so traveling outside peak times helps avoid crowding.
At Shibuya, trains on this line merge directly with the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line, allowing passengers to travel deep into central Tokyo without changing. This connection links suburban neighborhoods to the urban subway network, making daily commutes smoother.
