Rinkai Line

Rinkai Line Information

The Rinkai Line is a rapid transit railway line operating in the capital city of Tokyo, Japan. It is the only service in the region operated and managed by Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit, a third sector organisation. The service connects the central districts of Tokyo with the man-made islands of Odaiba and Aomi. The line also carries some trains from the Saikyo Line, which continues to Kawagoe, Omiya, Ikebukuro and Shinjuku.

The Rinkai line is not officially recognised as part of the Tokyo subway system, as it was built to the specifications of the JR Engineering Group and does not connect to any of the city’s metro networks. Of the twelve kilometres that make up the network, ten kilometres are underground. In fact, in the Tokyo port area, the line is almost forty metres underground. Only the Shin Kiba-Shinonome section, built on the old Keiyo Freight Railway line, runs above ground.
