The Odakyū Odawara Line (小田急小田原線 Odakyū-odawara-sen?) is the main line of 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, the gateway to Hakone in Kanagawa Prefecture. It is a heavy commuter line and is also known for its "Romancecar" limited express services. From Yoyogi-Uehara Station some trains continue onto the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line and beyond to the East Japan Railway Company Jōban Line.

[edit] History

The entire stretch of the line was opened at once on April 1, 1927 by Odakyū Electric Railway. In 1942, Odakyū was forcibly merged by the government with Tōkyū and the line was named the Tōkyū Odawara Line. Tōkyū was broken up in 1948 and the line was transferred to the newly refounded Odakyū.

Through operation to the Hakone Tozan Railway's Hakone Tozan Line began in 1950 once dual-gauge trains were developed (the Hakone Tozan Line is 1,435 mm, the Odawara Line 1,067 mm). A bypass track was laid in 1955 to Matsuda Station on the Gotemba Line of the then-Japanese National Railways, and limited express service through to the line started. To function as a bypass to central Tokyo, through service on the Eidan Subway (now Tokyo Metro) Chiyoda Line commenced in 1978 via Yoyogi-Uehara.

Currently a track upgrading project is being carried out between Yoyogi-Uehara and Mukōgaoka-Yūen, quadrupling the Odawara Line's trackage and stacking the tracks underground. Originally a viaduct was planned but this was changed to underground tracks, and work on the tunnel between Setagaya-Daita and Higashi-Kitazawa is now ongoing.
