The Ginza Line (銀座線, Ginza-sen), officially designated as Line 3 Ginza Line (3号線銀座線, San-gō-sen Ginza-sen), is a subway line in Tokyo, Japan, operated by Tokyo Metro. The line spans 14.3 km (8.9 mi) and serves the wards of Shibuya, Minato, Chūō, Chiyoda, and Taitō.
It is the oldest subway line in Asia, opening in 1927 and originally operated by the Tokyo Underground Railway, later jointly operated with the Tokyo Rapid Railway.
The line is named after the Ginza commercial district in Chūō, through which it passes. On maps, diagrams, and signage, the line is color-coded orange, and its stations are identified by the letter "G" followed by a specific number.
