The Yokosuka Line is a 23.9 km long line connecting Kurihama Station in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture and Ōfuna Station in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Although the official name of Ōfuna Station to Tōkyō Station is Tōkaido main line, trains run directly from Kurihama Station to Tōkyō Station, so the line between Kurihama and Tōkyō Stations is known as the Yokosuka Line. The train leaves Kurihama Station for Yokohama Station via Yokosuka Station, a military port town; Kamakura Station,famous for the Daibutsu statue and Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine; and Ōfuna Station, where the train joins the Tōkaidō Main Line. After Yokohama Station, the line separates from the Tōkaidō Main Line near Tsurumi Station and heads for Shinagawa Station while running alongside the Tōkaidō Shinkansen via Shin-Kawasaki Station where the Shin-Tsurumi Engine Works, and Musashi-kosugi Station is spead. After Shinagawa Station, the line goes underground to Tōkyō Station, its final destination. We hope you enjoy the various landscapes from the suburbs to the city and the many parallel trains.
