Tōbu Tōjō Main Line

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tōbu Tōjō Main Line (東上本線, Tōbu Tōjō Hon-sen) is a 75.0 km suburban train line that runs from Ikebukuro Station in Toshima-ku, Tokyo, Japan to Yorii Station in Yorii, Saitama. It is usually called the Tōbu Tōjō Line (東武東上線, Tōbu Tōjō Sen) and is owned and operated by Tōbu Railway.
