The Tsurumi Line in Yokohama and Kawasaki is a hidden urban gem running through the vital Keihin Industrial Zone, which supports Japan’s industrial growth by transporting workers and goods. With several branches and limited train frequency at some stations, this complex network can be hard to navigate. This guided tour features an English-speaking local expert who selects the best route within limited time, sharing deep insights into the line’s industrial heritage, nostalgic stations, and scenic waterfront views.

Umishibaura Station is a rare station where passengers cannot exit beyond the ticket gates, as it is located inside Toshiba’s private factory grounds. Only Toshiba employees can leave the station, making it a unique “locked-in” terminal. Despite this, visitors come to enjoy the stunning waterfront views and the adjacent Umishiba Park, which is open to the public. This unusual restriction makes Umishibaura Station a fascinating and much-photographed spot.
