The Toden Arakawa Line (都電荒川線) is a streetcar line in Tokyo, Japan. The Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation operates this line, along with four subway lines and a monorail. The Arakawa Line is the sole survivor of Tokyo's once-extensive streetcar network. Other lines have become subways or elevated railways, been replaced by buses, or disappeared.

Overview

The Toden Arakawa Line operates between the terminals at Minowabashi Station and Waseda Station. It runs along Meiji Street between Asuka-yama Station and Oji Eki-mae Station. Otherwise, it operates on its own tracks. Presently, single driver-operated cars make the 12.2 km trip in 50 minutes. The gauge is 1372 mm. The line is fully double-track, and draws 600 V electrical supply.
