The Blue Line Connecting the Sea and the City! Yokosuka Line

The Yokosuka Line is a JR East train that links Tokyo Station in Tokyo to Kurihama Station in Kanagawa Prefecture (the official line section is between Ofuna Station and Kurihama Station). It is famous for its "blue and cream" colors! People fondly call this color combination "Suka-iro". It runs powerfully through many scenes, like along the sea, through the mountains, and deep under the big city.

Trains on the Yokosuka Line

Cool trains packed with clever ideas to carry many people run on the Yokosuka Line. Right now, older trains are being switched to newer ones!

• E235-1000 series: This is the newest train. It has a black frame around its face and a square shape. Inside, there are many screens that tell you the next stop and the news.
• E217 series: This train has been running for a while. It has a rounded face. It is an amazing train that debuted as Japan's very first "suburban train with 4 doors"!
• Green Car: Near the middle of the train, there are two-story cars. These are called "Green Cars". You can sit in big, comfy seats and travel far away.

History and Role

The Yokosuka Line has a long history. It was built back in the Meiji era to carry military supplies and people. Yokosuka had a big port, so this line was very important to get there. Today, it is an essential train used every day by many people going to school or work, or visiting Kamakura for fun!

How to Choose Colors

When you paint the Yokosuka Line coloring page, try to recreate its special "Suka color"!

• Body lines: Try painting the lines above and below the windows in dark blue. This color is close to "French Blue".
• Body color: Instead of pure white, paint the main body a creamy yellow. It will look just like the real thing!
• Newest train (E235 series): Paint around its face in black, then add thin blue and cream lines around it.
• Roof and underside: Paint the roof and the wheels in gray.

Tips to Make It Look Cool!

With just a little extra effort, your train will look even more real and full of energy!

• Shining light: Color the window glass lightly with light blue at an angle, and leave a bit of white. It will look like light is reflecting off the glass!
• Logo mark: There is a yellow-green mark shaped like a clover on the side of the Green Car. Don't forget to paint it to give your train a fancy look!
• Destination sign: Write your favorite station name on the sign at the front of the train! What is your favorite station? Is it "Kamakura", "Zushi", or "Tokyo"?

Try Drawing a Background

The Yokosuka Line runs through many different places. Will you choose mountains full of green near Kita-Kamakura, a city with tall buildings near Yokohama, or a view of the sea near Kurihama? Use your imagination and draw whatever you like!

The colors are called "Suka Color"!

The blue and cream design of the Yokosuka Line is called "Suka Color" by train fans.

Sometimes 11 cars, sometimes 15 cars?

The Yokosuka Line changes its length depending on where it runs. It usually has 11 long cars. But sometimes, 4 more cars join the back to make a 15-car train! A 15-car train is one of the longest trains in Japan!

Secret deep underground stations

The Yokosuka Line platform at Tokyo Station is built deep underground. People planned it this way so it would be easy to run more trains and connect to other lines in the future. You have to take many escalators to get there. It feels like a secret underground maze!
