The Keihin-Tohoku Line (京浜東北線, Keihin Tōhoku-sen) is a 59 km railway line in Japan that connects the cities of Saitama, Warabi, Kawaguchi, Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Yokohama. It combines portions of the Tohoku Main Line, Yamanote Line, and Tokaido Main Line.

The name literally means "Tokyo-Yokohama and Tohoku Line." "Tohoku" refers to the Tohoku Main Line.

Service

Trains run every 2–3 minutes at peak hours, every 5 minutes during midday, and less frequently the rest of the time. In most instances, these trains are classified as futsu (local), stopping at all stations en-route. However, during middays they are classified as kaisoku (rapid). These rapid trains skip some stations in central Tokyo, where it runs parallel to the Yamanote Line. Some services run southwest beyond Yokohama on the Negishi Line to and from Isogo then finally to the terminus of the Negishi Line at Ofuna.

Presently, Series 209 EMUs run on all Keihin-Tohoku Line services.
