Meguro Line tracks run parallel with the Tōyoko Line between Den-en-chōfu and Musashi-Kosugi stations (inside tracks - Meguro Line, outside tracks - Tōyoko Line).

The Tōkyū Meguro Line (東急目黒線, Tōkyū Meguro-sen^?) is a commuter train service which runs between Meguro in southwest Tokyo and Musashi-Kosugi in Kanagawa prefecture. The service is operated by the private Tokyu Corporation.

The Meguro line currently interoperates with the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and Toei Mita Line from Meguro. Until this connection was established in 2000, the line was known as the Tōkyū Mekama Line, and ran between Meguro and Kamata.

Express service between Musashi-kosugi and Meguro started on September 25, 2006. The express stops at Musashi-Kosugi, Tamagawa, Den-en-chōfu, Ōokayama, Musashi-koyama, and Meguro, saving 5 minutes over the route. Express trains are most common in rush hour and in midday once every 4 to 5 trains.
