Overview

Unlike all other Tokyo subway lines, which were built to Template:RailGauge or Template:RailGauge gauges, the Shinjuku line was built with a track gauge of Template:RailGauge to allow through operations onto the Keiō network. The line was planned as Line 10 according to reports of a committee of the former Ministry of Transportation; thus the rarely used official name of the line is the .

According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation, as of June 2009 the Shinjuku Line was the third most crowded subway line in Tokyo, at its peak running at 181%^[a] capacity between Nishi-ōjima and Sumiyoshi stations.

It is the only Toei line to run outside Tokyo, and one of only two Tokyo subway lines to run into Chiba Prefecture, the other being the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line. The Tokyo Metro Yūrakuchō Line and the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line are the only other subway lines to run beyond Tokyo, with their shared northern terminus at Wakōshi Station in Saitama Prefecture. However, all lines that have through services contain at least one route beyond Tokyo.
