Jōban Line (Local) (Japanese: 常磐緩行線, Hepburn: Jōban-kankō-sen) is a railway line that runs from Ayase in Tokyo to Toride in Ibaraki.

This article is about the Joban Line local (各駅停車) trains running from Ayase to Toride. For the Joban Line medium distance (普通) trains or Joban Line rapid (快速) trains please refer to Jōban Line and Jōban Line (Rapid) respectively.

Services

Most trains continue on to the Chiyoda Line excluding trains during early morning and late evenings. Some trains also continue further on to the Odakyu Line.

Trains don't go towards Ueno and Tokyo so passengers must transfer to the Jōban Line (Rapid) at Kita-Senju on the Chiyoda Line. Passengers can also transfer to the Yamanote Line at Nishi-Nippori.

Trains operate every 10 minutes during daytime.

Station list

• Trains stop at all stations.
• Trains only operate during weekday rush hours between Abiko and Toride.
