The TÅkaidÅ Main Line (æ±æµ·é“本線, TÅkaidÅ-honsen) is a major Japanese railway line of the Japan Railways Group (JR Group) network, connecting Tokyo and KÅbe stations. It is 515.4 km (320.3 mi) long, not counting its many freight feeder lines around the major cities. The high-speed TÅkaidÅ Shinkansen largely parallels the line.
The term TÅkaidÅ Main Line is largely a holdover from pre-Shinkansen days; now various portions of the line have different names which are officially used by JR East, JR Central, and JR West. Today, there are no passenger trains that operate over the entire length of the line (other than certain overnight services; see below), so longer intercity trips require several transfers along the way.
