The Seibu Tamako Line (西武多摩湖線, Seibu Tamako-sen?) is a 9.2 km single-track railway line in Tokyo, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Seibu Railway.
The line is part of the Seibu Shinjuku group of railway lines and connects suburban areas of western Tokyo to Seibu and JR East main lines that run to central Tokyo. The line is named after the Tama Lake (多摩湖, Tamako?), a major reservoir supplying water to Tokyo, located close to the terminus of the line at Seibu-Yūenchi. Since July 2008, recorded announcements on trains have been provided in English in addition to Japanese and, as part of Seibu Railway's ongoing refurbishment programme, signage and maps at stations are also bilingual.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“We have not passed that subtle line between childhood and adulthood until we move from the passive voice to the active voice—that is, until we have stopped saying “It got lost,” and say, “I lost it.””
—Sydney J. Harris (b. 1917)
