Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway) Running from Shinjuku to Tama

Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway) is a railway company that operates trains like the Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway), which runs from Shinjuku Station in Tokyo toward Chofu, Fuchu, and Hachioji, and the Inokashira Line, which connects Shibuya Station and Kichijoji Station.
Trains on the Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway) run all the way to Takaosanguchi Station at the foot of Mount Takao, a popular spot for hiking.
There is also a long iron bridge over the Tama River, so you can enjoy a fun view from the train windows!

The Inokashira Line 1000 Series with Rainbow-Colored Stripes

The first coloring page is the 1000 series on the Inokashira Line.
This train made its debut in 1996, marking 30 years since it started running as of 2026.
The symbol of the Inokashira Line trains is their seven colors, known as the rainbow colors.
This 1000 series has stripes on the front and the sides of its body that line up many different colors just like a rainbow.
Right in the middle of the front, there is an emergency door you can use to get in and out.

The 5000 Series Crossing the Iron Bridge

The second coloring page is the 5000 series crossing an iron bridge over a big river.
This train made its debut in 2017, and you can change the direction of its seats!
In the evening and at night, it becomes a paid reserved-seat train called the "Keio Liner" so people can sit down on their way home, and the seats turn to face forward.
Its special feature is the pinkish-red shape below its black face that bends like the letter "V" turned on its side.
Above the tracks, gate-shaped poles that support the power lines stand in a long row stretching far into the distance.

The 8000 Series Arriving at a Snowy Station

The third coloring page is the 8000 series pulling into a station while snow falls.
The 8000 series made its debut in 1992, and it is still hard at work on the Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway) today.
On the front and sides of its body, it has a dark red stripe with a thin blue stripe right below it.
These two stripes are the trademark look of trains on the Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway).

Let's Compare the Faces of the Three Trains

The 1000 series has a flat face with a door in the middle, the 5000 series has a face made of black glass with rounded corners, and the 8000 series has a face with stripes running below a large glass window.
Even though they belong to the same Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway), their faces look very different depending on the year they were born!
Try comparing the shapes of their lights and the colors of their stripes, too.
The 5000 series and 8000 series run on the Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway), and the 1000 series runs on the Inokashira Line.

Rainbow Stripe: 7 Colors in a Row

The stripe on the first page is divided by vertical lines.
From the left, try coloring them in order, like orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, purple, and pink.
If you overlap the colors just a little bit where they meet, it will blend smoothly just like a rainbow!
If you leave the front of the white train body uncolored, the colors of the stripe will really stand out!

The 5000 Series: Black and Pink

On the second page, for the front of the 5000 series, color around the glass black. Then, color the V-shape underneath it a pinkish red.
The sides of the train body are silver, so color them with a light touch of light gray.
If you make the handrails on the bridge light green, it will look just like a real bridge!
Color the river light blue, and if you leave white spots here and there, the water will look shiny and bright!

Snowy Day: Leave the White Paper Showing

On the third page, the front of the 8000 series is ivory (a whitish cream color). Its stripes are dark red and blue.
For the snow piled up on the platform and tracks, leave the white paper as it is! Just add a light blue for the shadows.
If you color the sky gray, it will really feel like a snowy day!

Power Poles and the Steel Bridge

On the second page, color the gate-shaped poles lined up on the steel bridge in dark gray or brown.
If you color the poles in front dark and the ones in the back light, it will look like they go far into the distance!
Color the legs of the bridge light gray.
If you want to make it evening, coloring the sky a light orange would look lovely, too!

Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway) and the Inokashira Line Have Different Track Widths

Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway) and the Inokashira Line are both trains run by Keio, but the width of their tracks is different.
The track width of Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway) is 1372 mm. This is the same width used long ago for horse-drawn streetcars.
The Inokashira Line is 1067 mm. This is the same width as regular JR lines.
Because of this, Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway) trains and Inokashira Line trains cannot run on the same tracks!

Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway) Also Connects to the Subway

Keio Line (Keio Electric Railway) goes directly onto the Toei Shinjuku Line, which runs underground from Shinjuku Station. The Toei Shinjuku Line also has the same 1372 mm width.

Takaosanguchi Station at the Foot of Mount Takao

Takaosanguchi Station, the last stop on the Keio Takao Line, is right next to the entrance of Mount Takao.
Mount Takao is known as one of the most popular mountains for hikers in the whole world!
The current station building at Takaosanguchi Station was designed by the famous architect Kengo Kuma. Look for its big roof made with lots of wood!
In autumn, the trains get very crowded with people going to see the beautiful colorful leaves on the mountain.
There are even trains that take you all the way from Shinjuku Station to Takaosanguchi Station without changing trains!
