TheChūō Line (Rapid) (Japanese:中央線快速,Hepburn:Chūō-sen kaisoku) is the name given to arapid train service inGreater Tokyo, operating betweenTōkyō inChiyoda, andTakao inHachioji by theEast Japan Railway Company (JR East). Some trains extend west beyond Takao toŌtsuki in neighboringYamanashi Prefecture.[1] Other trains travel onward towardsŌme via theŌme Line. It has been operating continuously in some form since April 1889 from its origins as part of the Kōbu Railway.
Chūō Line (Rapid) trains often rank among the most overcrowded in the Tokyo metropolitan area. It is the only mainline service to operate directly into the core of Tokyo without traveling through another company's tracks or customers having to change trains, and serves highly desirable communities in western Tokyo.[2]
Forstation numbering, it is identified with the codeJC. It is colored orange vermillion on railway maps, andE233-0 series trains assigned to the service have stripes with this color.

Most of the route of the Chūō Line (Rapid) was built by theKōbu Railway [ja] during theMeiji era and entered service in two phases as the Kōbu Line.[3] The first was betweenTachikawa andShinjuku, opening on 11 April 1889. Trains took one hour to travel between those two points and only went as fast as 30 km/h (18.64 mph).[4] The second section between Tachikawa andHachioji opened later on 11 August. Around the time of opening, there were only four round trips per day, and only one of them traveled the full route between Hachioji and Shinjuku.[5][6] Additionally, as most of west Tokyo was not yet developed or populated, stations were only located atNakano, Sakai (nowMusashi-Sakai),Kokubunji, and Tachikawa.[7] This was expanded to six round trips with an extension toIidamachi (near today'sIIdibashi) in April 1895.[8][9]
In response to high ridership, the line was electrified in August 1904 between Nakano and Iidamachi, becoming the first rapid electric railway in Tokyo and electric powered De-968 cars were brought into service.[9][10] Service was extended toOchanomizu on 31 December 1904. Kōbu Railway was later acquired byJapanese Government Railways (JGR), and wasnationalized on 1 October 1906.[9][10] At that time, the line adopted its current name, the Chūō Line.[10]
In the 1910s, service was extended further eastwards into central Tokyo, first toManseibashi in April 1912, and then to the currentTōkyō terminus in March 1919.[9]
By 1930, the line had been electrified between Tōkyō to the east, and Asakawa (nowTakao) to the west.[7] In 1933, two additional tracks were added to the existing double-tracked section between Ochanomizu and Iidamachi stations to complete thefour-track line between Ochanomizu and Nakano.[11] This allowed the introduction of express trains (急行電車,kyūkō densha), a precursor to current rapid service, on 15 September. These trains only stopped at Tōkyō, Kanda, Manseibashi, Ochanomizu,Yotsuya, Shinjuku, and Nakano. Express service only operated during peak hours on weekdays.[12]

AfterWorld War II, JGR becameJapanese National Railways (JNR). Areas of west Tokyo experienced large population growth during thepost-war boom, and in turn resulted in very crowded trains, some operating at 300% above full capacity.[13]
JNR 101 Series trains were introduced starting in December 1957 with a prototype unit.[14] Production trains were delivered to Mitaka Depot and entered service a year later.[15] These electric trains had four double-leafed doors per side, featured quicker acceleration, and were 10 cars long, ideally accommodating as much as 1,400 passengers per train.[16] They were colored◼︎ orange vermillion (officially JNR Vermillion No. 1), which became the trademark color for the Chūō Line and all its future rolling stock.[14]
In November 1959, all-day express service was introduced on weekdays.
On 17 March 1961, the Chūō Line express trains were rebranded as "Rapid" (快速,kaisoku). This was done to reduce confusion, as alimited express service, theAzusa, was being extended to Shinjuku, but required higher fares than the conventional rapid trains on the line.[14]Weekend and holiday rapid service commenced in April 1966, though some trains during the first and last hours of service continue to make all local stops. On 3 July 1967, a Special Rapid service variant was introduced, stopping at fewer stations than normal Rapid service.[14] These trains generally operated between Tōkyō and Takao or Ōme, and made all normal Rapid service stops east of Nakano.[17] Between Nakano andTachikawa, these trains operated as a super-express service, only stopping (from east to west) at Mitaka,Kokobunji, and Tachikawa.[17] Kokobunji was skipped on these trains until 1993.[18]
Prototype201 series trains began operating on 20 August 1979, with full service starting in August 1981, replacing the 101 series cars.[19]
By 1987, Japanese National Railways had incurred a large amount of debt – ¥27 million.[20] It was broken up and privatized into seven separate companies within theJapan Railways Group. The Chūō Line (Rapid) and other lines in theKantō region fell under control of theEast Japan Railway Company, or JR East.[21]
In December 1988, another variant of rapid service began operation, the Commuter Rapid.[18] These trains only operate outbound from Tōkyō during the afternoon peak and continue through the mid-evening. Between Nakano and Tachikawa, these trains only stop at Ogikubo,Kichijōji, Mitaka, and Kokubunji.[18]
In April 1993, another Rapid variant began service, the Commuter Special Rapid. These trains only operate towards Tōkyō during the morning rush hour.[17] By this point, direct Rapid service trains were also operating to and from Ōtsuki.[18]
The 2000s brought on a major project to grade separate the line between Mitaka and Tachikawa at the cost of ¥180 billion.[22] There were multiplegrade crossings along the right-of-way, and as a result of frequent train service, gates were often closed. This led to high levels of traffic congestion, accidents, and a feeling amongst nearby residents of being disconnected from one another.[23] The work along this 9 km (5.59 mi) section was done in phases, two tracks at a time starting in 1999, with trains using the two remaining tracks.[23] The project was substantially completed in November 2010.[24]
Women-only cars were introduced on 5 September 2005, they were offered during various periods in the past, even during the early days of the Chūō Line.[25] Some iterations of this policy also allowed children of any gender to ride in these cars. On Chūō Line (Rapid) trains, this is car number #1, the first car on all trains towards Tōkyō. The policy is only in effect during the height of the morning peak on weekdays.[26]
On 26 December 2006,E233 series trains entered service, and remains the current rolling stock on the line.[27][28] 688 cars were initially ordered to replace the older201 series trains, which operated until 14 October 2010.[29][30] The E233s were built withuniversal design in mind, and JR East surveyed customers to gather further input on features to include such as air purification, and lower luggage racks in women-only cars.[31][28] They also have backup internal systems in case of failure, reducing potential service disruptions.[29][32]
In 2016,station numbering was introduced with stations being assigned numbers between JC01 (Tōkyō) and JC24 (Takao).[23][33] Stations on theŌme andItsukaichi lines, where some trains operate as through services, are also identified with JC station codes.[1]
JR East planned to introducegreen cars on both the Chūō Line (Rapid) andŌme Line in spring 2025.[34] To do so, two newly built bilevel green cars would be added to each 10-car and 6-car E233 series EMU set, forming 12-car and 8-car sets respectively. In addition, toilets were also installed in each trainset.[19] Work was done to lengthen station platforms and depot facilities to handle longer trains.[34] Two sets of209-1000 series EMUs were placed into Chūō Line (Rapid) service from March 2019 to October 2024 as there were a temporary shortage of E233 series trains because of this work.[19]
On 14 March 2020, the remaining few late evening and early morning local trains were converted to rapid service.[35]
Through services to some lines in theTama region were discontinued in the 2020s. Through services to theHachikō Line andItsukaichi Line ended on 11 March 2022 and theHoliday RapidAkigawa (a holiday and weekend through service) was discontinued about a year later on 18 March 2023.[36][37]
JR East announced the introduction of Green Car equipped trains from 13 October 2024 on a trial basis without additional fares. Full deployment (with fares) commenced in early 2025.[22][38][39] It was reported in October 2025 that some passengers were using green cars without paying the proper step-up fare.[40]
TheMinistry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism requires all railway operators to keep track of and report any incidents.[41] Some of what JR East has classified as a personal injury accident includes:
TheChūō Main Line and by extension, the Chūō Line (Rapid) service has a high rate of personal injury accidents. By 2000, the Chūō Line had the highest reported number of personal injury accidents (including suicides) in the JR East network.[45] This morbid lore has also been represented in fictional works; the opening scene in the 2001 film,Suicide Club depicts the mass suicide of schoolgirls who jump in front of an oncoming Chūō Line train.
Between January 2010 and September 2025, there have been 483 of these incidents along the Chūō Line.[46] Various causes have been discussed for this, including the lack ofplatform screen doors at most stations, the high rate of speed which trains travel at, and that JR East reportedly charges the lowest fees for railway damages to the families of those deceased (railway operators in Japan often seek financial compensation after personal injury accidents that result in costs to the company).[45][47][48]
In response to this, JR East has made efforts to reduce the number of these incidents overall, including the installation of improved fencing at stations, reducing blind spots, adding blue lighting and mirrors at the ends of platforms, increasing lighting throughout stations, and having former staff patrol stations looking for those potentially in need.[49][50][51] There are also plans to install platform screen doors at stations along the Chūō Line byfiscal year 2032.[51]
TheMinistry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism tracks ridership statistics and also uses a scale to measure rail passenger crowding:[52]
- 100%: The train is at capacity, but a passenger can sit in a seat, hold on to a strap, or hold on to a pillar near the door.
- 150%: More crowded than full capacity, but passengers shoulders do not touch, people gathered near car doors.
- 200%: Passengers bodies will contact one another, people near the doors will have no space to move.
The Chūō Line serves a large portion ofWest Tokyo, and as a result, has historically experienced severe crowding.[53] After World War II, a lack of space for further development of housing in central Tokyo led to a rapid build-up in formerly quiet areas, especially to the west.[7] In turn, ridership on the Chūō Line also increased, and became a key corridor along these rapidly growing communities. Train lengths were increased to 10 cars by 1956.[54]
In some cases, trains were operating at about 300% capacity, or three times the ridership that they were designed to safely carry.[13] Conditions were so dangerous, the Chūō Line began to carry the nickname of the Murder Line.[53] Beginning in the 1960s, JNR began making serious efforts to address overcrowding as part of its Commuting Five Directions Operation plan.[53] The Chūō Main Line wasquadrupled tracked and grade separated betweenNakano andOgikubo in April 1966, and later westward from Ogikubo toMitaka in April 1969.[6] This allowed the extension ofChūō-Sōbu Line service toMitaka from its then terminus at Nakano to provide additional local service.[55] In addition, theTozaisubway line was extended to Nakano in March 1966, andthrough-running service on the Chūō-Sōbu Line to Mitaka was introduced one month later, the first ever through-run service by JNR.[6] JNR's efforts began to pay dividends: in 1965, crowding levels were at 266% above capacity, down from earlier post-war counts.[21]
In the years that followed, crowding levels decreased steadily as ridership dispersed across new alternative services - including the competingKeiō Takao Line. Ridership dipped to just below 120% during the height of thecoronavirus pandemic and recovered modestly through the 2020s.

On weekends and holidays, all Chūō Line (Rapid) trains are scheduled to bypassKōenji,Asagaya, andNishi-Ogikubo, all inSuginami. This has been a point of contention with the ward since the line was quadruple-tracked in the 1960s. During construction, initial plans did not include platforms to be built on the new rapid tracks. However, as a compromise with the local shopping districts and residents, the decision was made to build platforms at these stations. This was done in order to gain public support for the project.[64] In 1969, JNR proposed that rapid trains would bypass the three stations on weekdays, but the proposal was shelved at the behest of the community. The Suginami government and JNR came to a memorandum of understanding, stating that rapid service trains would only stop on weekdays, and Saturdays, but not on Sundays or holidays.[64] Trains bypassing on Sundays and holidays would be re-considered if the line between Mitaka and Tachikawa was quadruple-tracked.[65]
After JR took control of the Chuo Line, an adjustment was made to align Saturday, Sunday and holiday schedules in December 1994. This meant the discontinuation of service on Saturdays, which was opposed by the ward.[64] JR East justified their decision by pointing to changes in commuting habits that now aligned with a Monday-Friday workweek since that agreement was signed.[65]
The Chūō Line is the only service that connectsYamanashi Prefecture and the rest ofmetropolitan Tokyo. The prefectural government has raised issue with the quality of service, claiming that long travel times have led to depopulation.[66] They have advocated for expanded special rapid service to outlying stations.[66]
Chūō Line (Rapid) trains generally operate betweenTōkyō inChiyoda andTakao inHachioji or further out toŌtsuki inYamanashi Prefecture.[67] Some trains also operate as a through service onto other lines: to/from theŌme Line west of Tachikawa, or to/fromKawaguchiko on theFujikyuko Line.[1] JR East uses Chūō Line (Rapid), Chūō Rapid Line, or Chūō Line interchangeably to refer to the service.[27][68]
The Chūō Line (Rapid) designation applies to a route, or a train service, and not to a physical right-of-way. Traveling west from Tokyo, trains operate along the following lines:
Chūō Line (Rapid) trains use the two express tracks on the four-track section betweenOchanomizu andMitaka. In turn, all Chūō Line (Rapid) trains operate express betweenOchanomizu andNakano, stopping only atYotsuya andShinjuku in between.Chūō-Sōbu Line trains run local in this section, and make all stops. Between Nakano and Mitaka, all stations have platforms on the express tracks, which allows Chūō Line (Rapid) trains to run local west of Nakano. West of Mitaka, trains use both tracks on the remaining double-track section.
There are also several distinct service variants, some making fewer stops than others, depending on the day and time.[69][70][71]
| Service Type | Early AM | AM Peak | Midday | PM Peak | Evening | Late Evening |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rapid (快速) | Operates all day | |||||
| Chūō Special Rapid (中央特快) | Limited service in both directions | No service | Operates in both directions | Operates towards Tōkyō only | Operates in both directions | No service |
| Ōme Special Rapid (青梅特快) | Limited service in both directions | No service | Hourly in both directions | One trip to Tōkyō | One trip from Tōkyō | No service |
| Commuter Special Rapid (通勤特快) | No service | Operates towards Tōkyō only | No service | |||
| Commuter Rapid (通勤快速) | No service | Operates from Tōkyō only | No service | |||
This is the most common service pattern on the Chūō Line, it operates all day, every day. On weekends and holidays, trains do not stop atAsagaya,Kōenji, andNishi-Ogikubo. Most trains operate between Tōkyō, and Takao/Ōtsuki, though some trains mayshort turn atMusashi-Koganei,Tachikawa,Toyoda andHachiōji, especially at the beginning or the end of the service day.
Some trains operate through to theŌme Line (to as far as Ōme/from Oku-Tama) or from Kawaguchiko (on theFujikyuko Line) to Tōkyō during the AM peak, via Ōtsuki. Rapid service trains operate local west ofNakano. The service's signature color on service diagrams and on train sign programs is orange (■).
Both the Chūō and Ōme Special Rapids operate during off-peak hours on weekdays, and all day on weekends and holidays. Both make fewer stops between Tokyo andTachikawa than standard Rapid service. These two services follow the Rapid service stopping pattern between Tōkyō and Nakano. West of Nakano, Special Rapid trains only stop at Mitaka,Kokubunji and Tachikawa. All trains run local west of Tachikawa.
Chūō Special Rapid trains remain on theChūō Main Line to/from Takao or Ōtsuki, and a limited number of trains operate beyond Ōtsuki to/from the Fujikyuko Line towards Kawaguchiko. Chūō Special Rapid is shown in blue (■) on line diagrams.
The Ōme Special Rapid diverges at Tachikawa to/from theŌme Line towards Ōme, stopping at all stations. It is shown in green (■) on line diagrams and train signage.
Commuter Rapid trains operate weekday afternoons and evenings, and they only run in the peak direction leaving Tōkyō. These trains serve all of the stops that Special Rapid trains would, but also stops atOgikubo andKichijōji.
They mostly terminate atTakao, though a few trains go further toŌtsuki, or operate through services toKawaguchiko on theFujikyuko Line, or toŌme on theŌme Line. AfterTachikawa, trains run local, and stop at all stations. The service's signature color on service diagrams and train signs is purple (■).
Commuter Special Rapid trains make the fewest stops of all the variants. This service only operates weekday mornings in the peak direction towards Tōkyō. Two of these trains originate from Ōtsuki, another two from Ōme on the Ōme Line, and an additional one from Takao.
Commuter Special Rapid trains run local until Takao, then stop only at Hachiōji, Tachikawa, Kokubunji, and Shinjuku and continues as a rapid service from Shinjuku. The service's signature color on service diagrams is red (■) and pink on train signage programs (■).
TheHoliday Rapid Okutama is a special rapid service that operates only on weekends and holidays. It operates between Tōkyō and Ōme, following the Ōme Special Rapid stopping pattern east ofTachikawa. West of that point, trains run as a Rapid service along the Ōme Line, stopping only atNishi-Tachikawa,Haijima,Fussa and Ōme. Three trains run in each direction: to Ōme in the morning and to Tōkyō in the afternoon.
TheMusashino is a local service train linkingŌmiya toHachiōji via theMusashino Line. Services enter/exit the Chūō Line atKunitachi by the freight branch, and runs local from Kunitachi to Hachiōji.
There are severallimited express trains that supplement Chūō Line service, they are theAzusa,Kaiji,Fuji Excursion,Hachiōji, and theŌme.
Prior to March 2020, some Chūō Line trains made all local stops at the beginning of service in the early morning, and the end of service in the late evening. Trains switched to and from the localChūō-Sōbu Line tracks betweenOchanomizu andMitaka, and stopped at all stations.[73][74] These trains made additional stops atHigashi-Nakano,Ōkubo,Yoyogi,Sendagaya,Shinanomachi,Ichigaya,Iidabashi andSuidobashi. During this time, Chūō-Sōbu Line local trains only operated between Ochanomizu andChiba.[75][74]
Most ran between Tokyo and Takao, but some westbound trains alsoshort-turned at Musashi-Koganei, Tachikawa, Toyoda or Hachioji. A few trains also operated through to/from Ōme. The service's signature color on service diagrams is yellow (■).[75]
Local trains also sometimes ran during daytime hours, namely during maintenance periods and emergencies.[76][77]
To prepare for the installation of platform doors on the Chūō-Sōbu Line platforms and the future addition of Green Cars to the Series E233-0 fleet, local service ended on 13 March 2020.[75] Chūō-Sōbu Line local trains were extended to Mitaka orNakano during all hours of service.[35]
The Holiday Rapid Akigawa was a special rapid service that previously ran in conjunction with the Holiday Rapid Okutama. A 10-car train would either split or combine at Haijima – six cars of the train would continue to/from Oku-Tama (as theOkutama), while the other four would continue to/fromMusashi-Itsukaichi on theItsukaichi Line (theAkigawa). This combined service was discontinued on 18 March 2023.[78]
With the exception of theHoliday Rapid Akigawa, through services to theItsukaichi Line (to/from Musashi-Itsukaichi, via Haijima on the Ōme Line) andHachikō Line (to/from as far as Komagawa, via Haijima on the Ōme Line) operated until 11 March 2022.[79]
