History

The first part of the line was opened on April 1, 1927.
Currently the section of line between Yoyogi-Uehara and Setagaya-Daita is being upgraded from 2 to 4 tracks as part of an ongoing project to reduce congestion on the line. Originally planned as a viaduct, the plan was changed to a tunnel, and work on the tunnel between Setagaya-Daita and Higashi-Kitazawa is now ongoing.
The Shinjuku - Hakone route is included in Microsoft Train Simulator.
