The '''Tōkaidō Main Line''' ({{langx|ja|東海道本線|Tōkaidō-honsen}}) is one of the most important railway corridors in Japan, connecting the major cities of [[Tokyo]] and [[Kobe]] via [[Shizuoka (city)|Shizuoka]], [[Nagoya]], [[Kyoto]] and [[Osaka]]. The line, with termini at [[Tokyo Station|Tokyo]] and [[Kōbe Station (Hyogo)|Kobe]] stations, is {{convert|589.5|km|mi|abbr=on}} long, not counting its many freight feeder lines around the major cities. The high-speed [[Tokaido Shinkansen|Tōkaidō Shinkansen]] largely parallels the line.

The term "Tōkaidō Main Line" is largely a holdover from pre-Shinkansen days; now various portions of the line have different names which are officially used by JR East, JR Central, and JR West. Today, the only daily passenger train that travels the entire length of the line is the combined [[Sunrise Izumo]]/[[Sunrise Seto]] service which runs overnight. During the day, longer intercity trips using the line require several transfers along the way.

The Tokaido Main Line is owned and operated by three [[Japan Railways Group]] (JR Group) companies:
* [[East Japan Railway Company]] (JR East) ({{STN|Tokyo|x}} - {{STN|Atami|x}}) - '''[[Tōkaidō Line (JR East)|Tōkaidō Line]]'''
* [[Central Japan Railway Company]] (JR Central) ({{STN|Atami|x}} - {{STN|Maibara|x}}) - '''[[Tōkaidō Line (Shizuoka area)|Tōkaidō Line]]'''
* [[West Japan Railway Company]] (JR West) ({{STN|Maibara|x}} - {{STN|Kōbe|x}}) - '''[[Biwako Line]], [[JR Kyoto Line]], [[JR Kōbe Line|JR Kobe Line]]'''

==History==

=== Completion and early days, 1872–1913 ===
[[File:JGR-160SLb.jpg|left|thumb|Train hauled by a [[JGR Class 160]] locomotive at [[Shinbashi Station]], {{Circa|1875}}]]
The Tōkaidō route takes its name from the [[Tōkaidō (road)|ancient road]] connecting the [[Kansai region]] (Kyoto, Osaka) with the [[Kantō region]] (Tokyo, then Edo) through the [[Tōkai region]] (including Nagoya). Its name meant "Tōkai road", or the road running through Tōkai. The Tōkaidō Line does not follow the old road exactly, since the latter diverges at Nagoya toward the [[Mie Prefecture]] coastline; to follow it by train, the [[Kansai Main Line]] and [[Kusatsu Line]] would have to be followed from [[Nagoya Station|Nagoya]] to [[Kusatsu Station (Shiga)|Kusatsu]]. Japan's largest population centers are all along this route: Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe. Since construction of the line, these centers have since grown to occupy an ever more dominant role in the country's government, financial, manufacturing, and cultural life.<ref name="Smith">{{Cite journal |last=Smith |first=Roderick A. |year=2003 |title=The Japanese Shinkansen |journal=The Journal of Transport History |publisher=Imperial College, London |volume=24/2 |pages=22–236}}</ref>

Historically, one of the first priorities of Japanese railway planners was to build a line from Tokyo to the [[Kansai region]], either following the Tokaido route or the northern [[Nakasendō]] route. This decision remained unresolved as regional needs were addressed. The first railway in Japan was the line from [[Shimbashi Station|Shimbashi]] to [[Sakuragichō Station|Sakuragicho]] in Yokohama, which opened in 1872; another segment of today's Tokaido Main Line, between Kyoto and Kobe, opened in 1877.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |url=https://dl.ndl.go.jp/pid/12061412 |title=日本国有鉄道百年史 |year=1969 |volume=1 |language=ja |trans-title=Centenary of the Japan National Railways |doi=10.11501/12061412 |author1=日本国有鉄道 |publisher=日本国有鉄道 }}</ref>

In 1883, the government decided to use the Nakasendō route, and construction of several segments commenced (including the modern-day [[Takasaki Line]]). Railways were opened between Ogaki and Nagahama (1884) and between Nagoya and Kisogawa (1886) in line with the Nakasendo plan. However, by 1886, it was clear that the Tokaido route would be more practical, and so the Nakasendo plan was abandoned.<ref name=":0" />

The lines between [[Kisogawa Station|Kisogawa]] and [[Ōgaki Station|Ogaki]], [[Yokohama Station|Yokohama]] and [[Kōzu Station (Kanagawa)|Kozu]], and [[Hamamatsu Station|Hamamatsu]] and [[Ōbu Station|Obu]] were completed in 1887, and the first line from Tokyo to Kobe was completed in 1889, when Kozu and Hamamatsu were connected through the present-day [[Gotemba Line]] corridor. The final segments were completed between Kasumigahara and Otsu. At the time, there was one Tokyo–Kobe train in each direction per day, taking over 20 hours each way. The "Tokaido Line" name was formally adopted in 1895. In October 1895, following the [[First Sino-Japanese War|Sino-Japanese War]], [[through service]] to the Sanyo Railway (now the [[San'yō Main Line]]) began.<ref name=":0" />

Express service between Tokyo and Kobe began in 1896, sleeper service in 1900, and dining car service in 1901. In 1906, [[Railway Nationalization Act|all privately run main lines were nationalized]] under the newly created [[Japanese Government Railways]], which at the time had a network of just over {{Convert|7000|km|mi|abbr=on}} of track.

=== Capacity expansion and route changes, 1914–1945 ===

On 20 December 1914, [[Tokyo Station]] opened and succeeded Shinbashi Station as the Tokyo-side terminus of the line. On the same day, an electrified commuter line was inaugurated along the section between Tokyo Station and today’s [[Yokohama Station]], which is now part of the [[Keihin–Tōhoku Line]].<ref name=":0" /> Automatic couplers were introduced on all freight wagons in 1926. In 1930, the first ''[[Tsubame (train)|Tsubame]]'' ("swallow") express was introduced, reducing the Tokyo - Kobe travel-time to nine hours - a significant reduction from the twenty hours required in 1889 and fifteen in 1903.<ref name="Smith" />[[File:Tokaido Main Line EF552 (Numa) Limited Express 1 Train 'Fuji' Shinagawa - Oimachi 1936-08-04.jpg|thumb|[[JNR Class EF55]] hauling the ''[[Fuji (train)|Fuji]]'' ([[Tokyo Station|Tokyo]]–[[Shimonoseki Station|Shimonoseki]] express) near [[Shinagawa Station|Shinagawa]], 4 August 1936]]
By the start of the [[Taishō era]], route changes on several stretches of the line were deemed necessary to accommodate growing demand. The route bypassing Osakayama (between [[Ōtsu Station|Ōtsu]] and [[Kyōto Station|Kyoto]] Stations), in use since 1878, was closed when the current, less steep route with two long tunnels was completed on 25 September 1919. The mountainous Gotemba stretch required an even larger-scale route change, culminating in the completion of the [[Tanna Tunnel]] in 1934 after 15 years of construction. The new route through the tunnel is 11.2 kilometres long, compared to the old Gotemba route, which took a 60.2-kilometre detour around the Tanna Basin.<ref>{{Cite web |title=第3回 丹那トンネル｜鹿島の軌跡｜鹿島建設株式会社 |url=https://www.kajima.co.jp/gallery/kiseki/kiseki03/index-j.html |access-date=2024-11-22 |website=www.kajima.co.jp}}</ref> With the opening of the tunnel, the section between Tokyo and Numazu was fully electrified, as steam locomotives were unable to operate through the long tunnel safely.<ref>{{Cite web |title=6月19日 丹那トンネルが貫通（1933年）（ブルーバックス編集部） |url=https://gendai.media/articles/-/72783?page=1&imp=0 |access-date=2024-11-22 |website=ブルーバックス {{!}} 講談社 |language=ja}}</ref>
[[File:JGR Moha52 firstmodel.jpg|thumb|[[52 series|52 Series]] EMUs were used for commuter services between [[Kyōto Station|Kyoto]] and [[Kōbe Station (Hyogo)|Kobe]] following the electrification of the section.]]
Electrification also progressed on the other end of the line around the same time, in 1934. Commuter rapid services between Kyoto and Kobe, using [[52 series|52 Series]] streamliner EMUs, began in 1937. However, further electrification of the line was overshadowed by the Second World War and did not resume until after the war. For security reasons, the army preferred to keep the middle portion of the line unelectrified, as unelectrified tracks were much easier to repair in the event of an enemy attack.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Onoda |first=Shigeru |date=January 2020 |title=鉄道人物伝 |url=https://bunken.rtri.or.jp/doc/fileDown.jsp?RairacID=0004007322 |access-date=22 November 2024 |website=[[Railway Technical Research Institute]]}}</ref>

During the war, the line's focus shifted towards freight services. Express services were significantly reduced, and sleepers and restaurant cars were withdrawn from service in 1944. [[JNR Class D52]] locomotives were introduced for wartime freight transport, but their poor manufacturing quality led to several boiler explosion accidents.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-11-27 |title=最強蒸気機関車のはずだったデゴイチ弟の不遇 「戦時量産型」D52 戦後はヒーローへ"転生" |url=https://trafficnews.jp/post/112760/2 |access-date=2024-11-22 |website=乗りものニュース |language=ja}}</ref>

=== As the main transport artery of postwar Japan, 1945–1964 ===
[[File:JNR C62 36 "Tsubame".jpg|thumb|[[JNR Class C62]] hauling the ''[[Tsubame (train)|Tsubame]]'' near Kyoto, {{Circa|1954}}]]
In the immediate aftermath of the war, almost all surviving express train carriages were requisitioned by the [[Occupation of Japan|Allied Occupation Forces]]. Services such as the ''Allied Limited'' (Tokyo–Moji), ''Dixie Limited'' (Tokyo–Hakata), and the ''[[British Commonwealth Occupation Force|BCOF]] Train'' (Tokyo–Kure) operated on the Tōkaidō Line. Express trains for Japanese nationals resumed in April 1947, with sleeper services following in July 1948.<ref>{{Cite book |title=連合軍専用列車の時代: 占領下の鉄道史探索 |date=1 May 2000 |publisher=潮書房光人新社 |isbn=978-4769809548 |location=Japan |language=ja |trans-title=The Era of Allied Special Trains: a history of Japan's railway under the Allied occupation}}</ref>

In 1949, the Limited Express ''Heiwa'', a successor to the pre-war ''[[Tsubame (train)|Tsubame]]'' service, and the sleeper express ''[[Ginga (train)|Ginga]]'' both began operating between Tokyo and Osaka. In January 1950, ''Heiwa'' was renamed ''Tsubame''. Makeshift [[JNR Class D52|D52 freight locomotives]] were converted into [[JNR Class C62|C62 express locomotives]], the largest and fastest steam engines in Japan's rail history, to haul these services. One of the C62s, C62 17, holds the narrow-gauge steam world speed record, which was achieved on the Tokaido line near Nagoya on 15 December 1954, and is preserved at the [[SCMaglev and Railway Park]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-09-14 |title=C62 17 |url=https://rail.hobidas.com/library/35037/ |access-date=2024-11-22 |website=鉄道ホビダス}}</ref>

On 19 November 1956, the line was fully electrified. The Tokyo–Osaka express trains, ''Tsubame'' and ''Hato'', began to be hauled by [[JNR Class EF58|JNR EF58 locomotives]] for the entire length of the route, reducing travel time from 8 hours to 7 hours and 30 minutes.<ref>{{Cite web |title=＜あのころ＞東海道線全線が電化 特急「つばめ」も新装 |url=https://www.47news.jp/2988193.html |access-date=2024-11-22 |website=47NEWS |language=ja}}</ref> With no concerns about smoke polluting the carriages, these trains were painted light green and nicknamed ''Aodaishō'' (green snakes, referring to the [[Japanese rat snake]]).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-21 |title=BSフジ 鉄道伝説、「鉄道の変革者・篠原武司〜全国新幹線網を構想した男〜」6月24日 {{!}} レイルラボ ニュース |url=https://raillab.jp/news/article/29617 |access-date=2024-11-22 |website=レイルラボ(RailLab) |language=ja}}</ref>

On 1 October 1958, the ''[[Kodama (train)#Limited express Kodama|Kodama]]'', the first limited express service operated by EMUs rather than locomotive-hauled carriages, commenced. This service further reduced travel time to 6 hours and 50 minutes. The [[181 series|Series 151 EMUs]] marked a significant milestone in railway technology, as EMUs were previously considered unsuitable for high-speed and long-distance services due to issues like noise, vibration, and cost. Since then, all non-sleeper express rolling stock, including the [[Shinkansen]], has been designed as EMUs. On the same day, the ''[[Asakaze]]'' sleeper express entered service with the newly built Series 20 carriages. These carriages were fully air-conditioned and nicknamed the 'hotel on the rail'.<ref>{{Cite web |title=【復刻掲載】「"リアル鉄"・石破茂とゆく寝台特急の旅！」2009年の週プレ独占インタビューを再掲載！（週プレNEWS） |url=https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/1cd5a03b40ec95c045a2247dc9082a234c1e02f9 |access-date=2024-11-22 |website=Yahoo!ニュース |language=ja}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-08-10 |title=ブルートレインに乗られた上皇陛下 最初に夜行を利用されたのは… - 2ページ目 (2ページ中) |url=https://otonano-shumatsu.com/articles/397441/2 |access-date=2024-11-22 |website=おとなの週末公式｜おいしくて、ためになる食のニュースサイト |language=ja}}</ref> Because these sleeper carriages and their successors were painted blue, sleeper trains in Japan came to be known as ''[[Blue Train (Japan)|Blue Trains]]''.

=== After the opening of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen, 1964–1987 ===
The capacity constraints on the Tokaido Main Line had been clear prior to World War II, and work started on a new {{RailGauge|1435mm}} [[standard gauge]] "bullet train" line in 1959. Intercity passenger traffic between Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka largely transferred to the [[Tokaido Shinkansen|Tōkaidō Shinkansen]] after it was completed in 1964. Since then, the Tokaido Main Line has been used as a commuter and freight line, serving a very small number of long-distance passenger trains (mainly overnight and sleeper services).

=== Privatisation, 1987–present ===
Following the [[Great Hanshin earthquake|Hanshin earthquake]] on 17 January 1995, the line was shut down between Takatsuki and Kobe, with certain segments remaining impassable until 1 April of that year.

On 20 August 2016, station numbering was introduced, with stations between Tokyo and Ōfuna assigned station numbers of JT01 to JT07.<ref>{{Cite web |date=6 April 2016 |title=⾸都圏エリアへ 「駅ナンバリング」を導⼊します |trans-title=Introduce “station numbering” to the Tokyo metropolitan area |url=https://www.jreast.co.jp/press/2016/20160402.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221207004741/https://www.jreast.co.jp/press/2016/20160402.pdf |archive-date=7 December 2022 |access-date=7 January 2023 |website=jreast.co.jp |language=ja}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Kusamachi |first=Yoshikazu |date=7 April 2016 |title=JA・JK・JT・AKB…JR東日本、首都圏で駅ナンバリングなど導入へ |trans-title=JA, JK, JT, AKB … JR East to introduce station numbering in the Tokyo metropolitan area |url=https://response.jp/article/2016/04/07/273025.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220806133507/https://response.jp/article/2016/04/07/273025.html |archive-date=6 August 2022 |access-date=7 January 2023 |website=Response Automotive Media |language=ja}}</ref> Numbers increase towards in the southbound direction towards Ōfuna.

== Station list ==

=== JR East ===

The section between Tokyo and Atami is operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and it is located in the [[Greater Tokyo Area]]. It has local services ({{langx|ja|普通|Futsū|links=no}}) and a rapid service called ''Rapid Acty'' ({{langx|ja|快速アクティー|Kaisoku Akutī|links=no}}). It runs on dedicated tracks parallel to the [[Yamanote Line]] between Tokyo and Shinagawa, the [[Keihin–Tōhoku Line]] between Tokyo and Yokohama, and the [[Yokosuka Line]] between Yokohama and Ōfuna. Some [[Shōnan–Shinjuku Line]] trains share the segment south of [[Yokohama]] to [[Ōfuna Station|Ōfuna]] and [[Odawara Station|Odawara]]. Until 12 March 2021, there were also commuter rapid ({{langx|ja|通勤快速|Tsūkin Kaisoku|links=no}}) and Shōnan Liner ({{langx|ja|湘南ライナー|Shōnan Rainā|links=no}}) services.<ref name="2021_03_timetable_jreast_yokohama">{{cite web|url=https://www.jreast.co.jp/press/2020/yokohama/20201218_y01.pdf|title=March 2021 Timetable Revision|date=18 December 2020}}</ref>

The [[Ueno–Tokyo Line]], a JR East project, extended the services of the [[Utsunomiya Line]], the [[Takasaki Line]], and the [[Jōban Line|Joban Line]] to Tokyo Station, allowing for through services to and from the Tōkaidō Line from March 2015.<ref>[http://www.jreast.co.jp/E/investor/interview/03.html An Interview with the President] on JR East website, retrieved 2009-05-13</ref>

Almost all trains along this section of the line have bi-level "Green Cars" with forward-facing seats, with each set of trains having 2 of them. Green Cars can be used after paying an additional fee.

A new station between Ōfuna and Fujisawa is being planned to serve passengers near the former JR Freight ''Shōnan Freight Terminal''. Construction is expected to start in early 2022. The new station is expected to open for service in 2032.<ref>{{Cite web |date=8 February 2021 |title=東海道線 村岡新駅設置で合意 JR東と県、藤沢、鎌倉市 |url=https://www.kanaloco.jp/news/government/article-392802.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210208083715/https://www.kanaloco.jp/news/government/article-392802.html |archive-date=8 February 2021 |website=[[Kanagawa Shimbun]] |language=ja}}</ref>

*With the [[Ueno–Tokyo Line]], [[Utsunomiya Line]] Rapid ''Rabbit'' and [[Takasaki Line]] Rapid ''Urban'' services now run along the Tokaido Line, and stop at all stations on this line. As such, the two services are classified as 'Local' service trains within the Tokaido Line. 
*Tokaido Line Rapid ''Acty'' services operate only evening services from Tokyo to Odawara. Rapid ''Acty'' services will be discontinued effective the timetable revision on 18 March 2023 after 34 years of operation.<ref>{{Cite web |date=18 December 2022 |title=快速「アクティー」最後の2列車が消滅へ 34年の歴史に幕 JR東海道線 |trans-title=The last two trains of the rapid "Acty" will disappear, ending 34 years of service on the JR Tokaido Line |url=https://trafficnews.jp/post/123386 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221218194249/https://trafficnews.jp/post/123386 |archive-date=18 December 2022 |access-date=22 December 2022 |website=trafficnews.jp |language=ja}}</ref>
*''[[Shōnan (train)|Shōnan]]'' Limited Express services are special, all-reserved commuter express trains with comfortable seating. They operate from Odawara to Tokyo on weekday mornings, with a few services terminating in Shinagawa. Return services run from Tokyo to Odawara on weekday evenings. Like commuter rapid trains, Shōnan Liner services normally make no stops between Shinagawa and Fujisawa. Between Fujisawa and Odawara, varying stops are made. In addition to the standard fare, a reserved seat fee of ¥500 is required to use the ''Shōnan Liner''.
* [[Keihin–Tōhoku Line|Keihin-Tōhoku Line]] stations between Tokyo and Yokohama officially are a part of the Tōkaidō Main Line. These stations are: {{STN|Yūrakuchō|x}}, {{STN|Hamamatsuchō|x}}, {{STN|Tamachi|x|Tokyo}}, {{STN|Takanawa Gateway|x}}, {{STN|Ōimachi|x}}, {{STN|Ōmori|x|Tokyo}}, {{STN|Kamata|x|Tokyo}}, {{STN|Tsurumi|x}}, {{STN|Shin-Koyasu|x}}, and {{STN|Higashi-Kanagawa|x}}.
* [[Yokosuka Line]] stations between Tokyo and Ōfuna officially are a part of the Tōkaidō Main Line. These stations are: {{STN|Nishi-Ōi|x}}, {{STN|Musashi-Kosugi|x}}, {{STN|Shin-Kawasaki|x}}, {{STN|Hodogaya|x}}, and {{STN|Higashi-Totsuka|x}}. The route of the Yokosuka Line between Shinagawa and Tsurumi is separate from the main line and is referred to as the [[Yokosuka Line|Hinkaku Line]], on which Nishi-Ōi, Musashi-Kosugi, and Shin-Kawasaki stations are located.
* The [[Shōnan–Shinjuku Line]] operates through services to the Tōkaidō Main Line. Trains operate from the [[Takasaki Line]] to {{STN|Ōsaki|x}} and enter the Yokosuka Line at {{STN|Nishi-Ōi|x}} to {{STN|Totsuka|x}} then switches tracks to the Tōkaidō Main Line towards {{STN|Odawara|x}}, and vice versa. Rapid Service stop at all stations on the Tōkaidō Main Line (Totsuka - Odawara), while Special Rapid Service operate the same pattern as a ''Rapid Acty'' Service.

=== JR Central ===
The point between JR East and JR Central operation is divided at [[Atami Station]]. The section of the line between Atami and [[Maibara Station|Maibara]] is operated by [[Central Japan Railway Company|JR Central]], and covers the [[Tōkai region]]: [[Shizuoka Prefecture]], [[Aichi Prefecture]], and [[Gifu Prefecture]]. Some services from Odawara on the JR East section continues to travel on this section until Numazu Station.

Maibara is shared by JR Central and JR West; JR West manages the station

Before March 2016, JR West operated trains from Maibara as far as Ogaki on JR Central territory. From 25 March 2016, all JR West departures were changed to JR Central trains to Maibara station.

=====Tarui Branch Line=====
Between Ōgaki and Sekigahara, there is a 25 per mil grade. In 1944, a single track bypass (in orange on the diagram) was built to avoid this steep slope of the main line. The old section, informally referred to as the "Shin-Tarui Line", remains largely unused, and {{ill|Shin-Tarui Station|ja|新垂井駅}} was closed in 1986. Today, the only rail vehicles that travel on this section of track are [[M250 series|freight trains]] and westbound express trains (the [[Shirasagi (train)|Shirasagi]], [[Hida (train)|Hida]] #36, and [[Sunrise Seto]]/[[Sunrise Izumo|Izumo]] services).

===JR West===
The western part of the Tōkaidō Main Line from [[Maibara Station|Maibara]] to [[Kōbe Station|Kōbe]] is operated by [[West Japan Railway Company|JR West]] and forms the main trunk of the company's Urban Network in the [[Keihanshin|Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto]] metropolitan area. Although the line is divided into three segments, known as the [[Biwako Line]], [[JR Kyoto Line]], and [[JR Kobe Line]], they are part of a single contiguous network, with many services traversing multiple sections. The Biwako Line includes a segment of the [[Hokuriku Main Line]]. Some services on the [[Kosei Line|Kosei]], [[Fukuchiyama Line|JR Takarazuka]] and [[Katamachi Line|Gakkentoshi]] lines run through onto the Tōkaidō Main Line.

==== Biwako Line ====
{{Main|Biwako Line}}
The section between Maibara and [[Kyōto Station|Kyoto]] is known as the Biwako Line.

*●: Trains stop.
*○: Limited stop, early morning and late night only
*<nowiki>|</nowiki>: Trains pass.
*Local (4-door Commuter trains): JR Kyoto Line local trains
*Local (3-door Suburban trains): Operate as Rapid service trains west of Takatsuki (west of Kyoto in the morning)

====Kanagawa Prefecture====
* Ninomiya Station: The Shonan Horse-drawn Tramway opened a {{Convert|10|km|mi|abbr=on}} line to Hatano in 1906 to haul tobacco. Steam locomotion was introduced in 1913. Passenger services ceased in 1933, and the line closed in 1935.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Odawara Station: The [[Japan Tobacco and Salt Public Corporation]] operated an approximately 1&nbsp;km line to its factory, electrified at 1,500 V DC, between 1950 and 1984. The line was also serviced by the adjoining [[Odakyū Odawara Line|Odakyu Odawara Line]] from its Ashigara station.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}

====Shizuoka Prefecture====
* Atami Station: In 1895, a {{Convert|10|km|mi|abbr=on}} {{Track gauge|610mm}} gauge [[handcar]] line opened to Yoshihama, and was extended {{Convert|4|km|mi|abbr=on}} to Odawara the following year. In 1907, the line was converted to {{Track gauge|762mm}} gauge and steam locomotives were introduced. The line closed in 1923 as a result of the [[1923 Great Kantō earthquake|Great Kanto earthquake]].{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Numazu Station: The Sunzu Electric Railway opened a {{Convert|7|km|mi|abbr=on}} line to Mishima-Tamachi on the [[Izuhakone Railway Sunzu Line]] in 1906. In 1915, the line was truncated 1&nbsp;km to connect at Mishima-Hirokoji, and the line was electrified at 600 V DC in 1919. The line closed in 1961 following the destruction of the Kisegawa bridge during a flood.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Yoshiwara Station: The {{Nihongo|Fuji Horse Tramway|富士馬車鉄道|Fuji Basha Tetsudō}} opened a {{Track gauge|610mm}} gauge line to Ōmiya (presentday [[Fujinomiya, Shizuoka|Fujinomiya]]) in 1890. The {{Nihongo|Fuji Minobu Railway|富士身延鉄道|Fuji Minobu Tetsudō}} purchased the tramway in 1912, converted it to a {{Railgauge|1067mm}} gauge steam railway the following year and gradually extended it (eventually becoming the [[Minobu Line]]). In 1924, the company built a new alignment which connected to Fuji station on the Tokaido main line, at which time the original section from Omiya to Yoshiwara closed.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Shimizu Station: [[Shimizukō Line]] from 1916 to 1984.
* Shizuoka Station:
** The Abe Railway opened a {{Convert|9|km|mi|abbr=on}} {{Track gauge|762mm}} gauge line from Inomiya (approximately 2&nbsp;km from Shizuoka) to Ushizuma in 1914 to haul timber. Plans to extend the line to Shizuoka did not eventuate and the line closed in 1934.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
**The Shizuoka Electric Railway opened a {{Convert|2|km|mi|abbr=on}} line to Anzai, connecting to its [[Shizuoka Railway Shizuoka–Shimizu Line|Shimizu Line]], electrified at 600 V DC, between 1922 and 1926. The line closed in 1962.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Yaizu Station: A {{Convert|5|km|mi|abbr=on}} {{Track gauge|610mm}} handcar line operated to Fujieda between 1891 and 1900.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Fujieda Station: The Tōsō Railway opened a {{Convert|4|km|mi|abbr=on}} {{Track gauge|762mm}} gauge line to Ote in 1913, and by 1926 had extended the line progressively in both directions for a length of {{Convert|38|km|mi|abbr=on}} from Jitogata to Suruga-Okabe, although in 1936 the {{Convert|5|km|mi|abbr=on}} section from Suruga-Okabe to Ote was closed. In 1943, the company merged with the Shizuoka Railway (see Fujiroi Station below), and in 1948, a {{Convert|7|km|mi|abbr=on}} line between Mitsumata and Jitogata opened, linking the two sections. This section of the combined line closed between 1964 and 1970.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Shimada Station: The Fuji Prefectural Government opened a {{Convert|3|km|mi|abbr=on}} {{Track gauge|610mm}} gauge handcar line in 1898 to haul timber. In 1944, following the destruction of the nearby Tokaido Line bridge over the Oigawa, it was proposed to use the alignment of this line as a replacement, including a {{Convert|930|m|ft|abbr=on}} wooden bridge over the river. The bridge was about 25% completed when the end of the war resulted in the termination of the proposal. A diesel locomotive was introduced in 1955 to haul construction material for the construction of the adjacent national highway, and the line closed in 1959.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Kikukawa Station: The Joto horse-drawn tramway opened a {{Convert|15|km|mi|abbr=on}} {{Track gauge|2ft}} gauge line to Ikeshinden in 1899. In 1923, the line was converted to {{Track gauge|762mm}} gauge, and a single-cylinder diesel locomotive introduced. The line closed in 1935.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Fukuroi Station:
**The Akiba horse-drawn tramway opened a {{Convert|12|km|mi|abbr=on}} {{Track gauge|762mm}} gauge line to Enshumori-Cho in 1902. In 1926, the company renamed itself the Shizuoka Electric Railway, converted the line to {{RailGauge|1067mm}} gauge and electrified it at 600 V DC. The line closed in 1962.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
**The Shizuoka Railway opened a {{Convert|10|km|mi|abbr=on}} {{Track gauge|762mm}} gauge line to Yokosuka in 1914, extending it {{Convert|7|km|mi|abbr=on}} to Mitsumata in 1927. The company merged with the Fuji-sho Railway in 1943 (see Fujieda Station above), and in 1948, a {{Convert|7|km|mi|abbr=on}} line between Mitsumata and Jitogata opened, linking the two sections. This section of the combined line closed between 1964 and 1967.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Hamamatsu Station: The Dainippon Railway opened a {{Convert|7|km|mi|abbr=on}}, {{Track gauge|762mm}} gauge line to Kuniyoshi in 1909. In 1919, the line was acquired by the [[Enshu Railway Line]], which closed the first {{Convert|1|km|mi|abbr=on}} of the line in 1925, so the new connecting station became Enshu-Magome. The line closed in 1937 while the section to Enshu-Magome would close in 1985.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}

====Aichi Prefecture====
* Okazaki Station:
** The Nishio Railway opened a {{Track gauge|762mm}} gauge line to Nishio in 1911, and extended it to Kira-Yoshida on the [[Meitetsu Gamagōri Line]] between 1915 and 1916. In 1926, the company merged with the Aichi Electric Railway, which between 1928 and 1929 converted the line to {{Track gauge|1067mm}} gauge, electrified it at 600 V DC, and connected it to the line from Shin-Anjō on the [[Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line]] at Nishioguchi. The line to Nishio closed in 1962.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
**A {{Convert|6|km|mi|abbr=on}} tram line connected to the Meitetsu Koromo line at Okazaki-Ida Station, which between 1929 and 1962 connected to the [[Meitetsu Mikawa Line]] at Uwagoromo, the tramway also closing in 1962.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Owari-Ichinomiya Station: The {{Convert|6|km|mi|abbr=on}} Meitetsu line to Okoshi, electrified at 600 V DC, opened in 1924. When the voltage on the Meitetsu main line was increased to 1,500 V DC in 1952, services were suspended on this line. The substitute bus service proved so popular the line was closed rather than upgraded.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}

====Gifu Prefecture====
* Ogaki Station: The [[Seinō Railway|Seino Railway]] opened a {{Convert|3|km|mi|abbr=on}} line from Mino-Akasaka to Ichihashi in 1928, and operated a passenger service from 1930 to 1945.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Arao Station (on the Mino Akasaka branch): A {{Convert|2|km|mi|abbr=on}} freight-only line to the Mino Okubo limestone quarry operated between 1928 and 1990.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}

====Hyōgo Prefecture====
* Nishinomiya Station: A {{Convert|2|km|mi|abbr=on}} freight-only line was opened in 1944 to connect to Mukogawa Station on the [[Hanshin Main Line]]. As the former was {{Track gauge|1067mm}} gauge, and the latter {{track gauge|1435mm}} gauge, some tracks at Mukogawa were dual gauge. Service on the line ceased in 1958, but it was not formally closed until 1970.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
* Rokkomichi Station: A {{Convert|6|km|mi|abbr=on}} line to Kobe Port opened in 1907, electrified at 1,500 V DC. Passenger services ceased in 1974, and the line closed in 2003.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}
