The is the main line of a
Japanese
private railway operator
Odakyū Electric Railway. It stretches 82.5 km from
Shinjuku in central
Tokyo through the southwest suburbs to the city of
Odawara in
Kanagawa Prefecture, the gateway to
Hakone. It is a heavy commuter line and is also known for its "
Odakyū Romancecar" Limited Express service.
From Yoyogi-Uehara some trains continue onto the
Chiyoda Line of
Tokyo Metro and beyond to the
East Japan Railway Company Jōban Line.
History
The entire stretch of the line was opened on
April 1,
1927 by the operator. In 1942 Odakyū was merged to
Tōkyū and the line was named Odawara Line. After the
World War 2 in 1948 the greater Tōkyū was divided and the line was transferred to the newly founded Odakyū.
To
Hakone Tozan Railway line, after dual-gauged (1435&#nbsp;mm for Hakone Tozan and 1067 for Odakyū), through operation began in 1950 for touristic interest to
Hakone area. A bypass track was laid in 1955 to
Matsuda Station on
Gotemba Line of the then
Japanese National Railways, and Limited Express service started. To function as a bypass to downtown Tokyo, through service to
Chiyoda Line of
Tokyo Metro commenced in 1978, via
Yoyogi-Uehara.
Currently a track upgrading project is carried between
Yoyogi-Uehara and
Mukōgaoka-Yūen, quadrupling the tracks by Odakyū and level separating by
Tokyo metropolitan government. The section between Yoyogi-Uehara and
Setagaya-Daita is being worked. Originally a
viaduct was planned but changed to underground tracks, and work on the tunnel between Setagaya-Daita and
Higashi-Kitazawa is now ongoing.
