The Jōban Line (常磐線 Jōban-sen) is a railway line in Japan operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). It begins at Nippori Station in Taitō Tokyo and follows the Pacific coasts of Chiba Ibaraki and Fukushima Prefectures before the line officially ends at Iwanuma Station in Iwanuma Miyagi. However most trains originate at Ueno rather than Nippori; likewise many trains continue past Iwanuma onto the Tōhoku Main Line tracks to Sendai.
