The Keisei Main Line (京成本線, Keisei Honsen) is a railway line of Japanese private railway company Keisei Electric Railway connecting Tokyo and Narita, Japan. It is the main line of Keisei's railway network. Built as an interurban between Tokyo and Narita in early 20th century, the line has served as a main access route to Narita International Airport since 1978. It also serves major cities along the line such as Funabashi, Narashino, and Sakura.

In 2010, the Narita Sky Access opened as a bypass of the line, reducing the role of the main line in the airport access.

History

All sections opened as electrified dual track unless noted otherwise. The initial section opened between Takasago and Edogawa as 1372mm gauge in 1912, and the line was progressively extended in both directions, reaching Narita in 1930 and Ueno in 1933.

In 1959 the line was regauged to 1435mm, and extended to Narita Airport (now Terminal 2) in 1978. The extension to Terminal 1 was opened as a single track in 1992.

Former connecting lines

• Funabashi-Keibajō station - A 1km 1372mm gauge line electrified at 600 VDC opened to the Yatsu amusement park in 1927, the voltage being raised to 1200 VDC the following year. The line closed in 1934.

• Narita station - The Narita Electric Railway Co. operated a 5km 1372mm gauge line electrified at 600 VDC from Fudoson (adjacent to the Narita temple) to Sogo between 1910 and 1944 that connected at this station.
