Overview

The Toyoko Line (TY) links Shibuya and Yokohama in 21 stops. Tokyu's flagship corridor passes Daikan-yama, Naka-meguro, Jiyugaoka and Musashi-kosugi before meeting the Minatomirai Line at Yokohama.

Why play it

The route mixes short names such as Hiyoshi and Kikuna with longer compounds including Gakugei-daigaku, Den-en-chofu and Higashi-hakuraku. The final Tammachi is a useful test of reading 反町 correctly.

Line data

How much typing is this?

Typing every station name on this line takes 211 keystrokes, an average of 10 per station. The longest name is 東白楽 (higashi-hakuraku) at 15 keystrokes; the shortest is 菊名 (kikuna) at 6. Those counts come from running each name's kana through the game's own romaji engine, so they are what your fingers actually do — not the length of the printed spelling.

Along the way: 0 names contain a small っ, which doubles the next consonant; 2 contain a small ゃ, ゅ or ょ, where the engine accepts both the Hepburn and Kunrei spellings (sha or sya, shu or syu); and 0 end in ん, whose trailing n folds into whatever comes next rather than standing alone.

Where you can change trains

11 of the 21 stations on this line connect to another line in the game. Follow any symbol to that line's guide.

Marked with a star: 渋谷 — the major interchanges, which the maps always label and the game marks with a heavier arrival stamp.
