Meguro Line tracks run parallel with the Tōyoko Line between Den-en-chōfu and Hiyoshi stations (inside tracks - Meguro Line, outside tracks - Tōyoko Line)
The Tokyu Meguro Line (東急目黒線, Tōkyū Meguro-sen) is a railway line operated by Japanese private railway company Tokyu Corporation. As a railway line, the name is for the section between Meguro and Den-en-chōfu in southwest Tokyo, but nearly all trains run to Hiyoshi on a quad-tracked section of the Tōyoko Line in Yokohama, Kanagawa. Additionally, the Meguro line interoperates with the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and Toei Mita Line beyond Meguro.
