Utsunomiya Line

The Nihongo|Utsunomiya Line|宇都宮線|Utsunomiya-sen is the 159.9 kilometre portion of the JR East Tōhoku Main Line. It runs from Ueno Station to Kuroiso Station.

Although there is also the Tōbu Utsunomiya Line of Tōbu Railway, most references made to the "Utsunomiya Line" generally refer to JR East's line, especially in non-Tōbu environment or context. The Tōbu Utsunomiya Line is commonly just referred to as the "Tōbu Line" by residents of the neighbourhood.
