Home > Tokaido Main Line
The Tokaido Main Line (東海道本線 Tokaido-honsen) is the busiest trunk line of Japan Railway (JR), connecting Tokyo Station and Kobe Station. It is 589.5 km long, not counting its many freight feeder lines around the major cities. The Tokaido Shinkansen runs largely parallel to the line.The term "Tokaido Main Line" is largely a holdover from pre-Shinkansen days: now, various portions of the line have different names, which are officially used in JR. Today, there are no passenger trains that operate over the entire length of the line (other than certain overnight services; see below), so longer intercity trips require several transfers along the way.
The Tokaido Main Line is operated by three JR companies:

Many Japanese rail fans call trains on the eastern section "Shonan densha" to avoid confusion.
