The Tokyo Metro Namboku Line (東京地下鉄南北線 Tōkyō Chikatetsu Nanboku-sen?) is a subway line owned and operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro in Tokyo, Japan. Its name literally means "South-North Line". The line runs between Meguro in Shinagawa and Akabane-Iwabuchi in Kita. The Namboku Line was referred to as Line 7 during the planning stages, thus the seldom-used official name is Line 7 Namboku Line (7号線南北線 Nana-gō-sen Namboku-sen?).
Trains run through onto the Tokyu Meguro Line for Hiyoshi and the Saitama Railway's Saitama Rapid Railway Line for Urawa-Misono. The portion between Shirokane-Takanawa and Meguro is shared with the Toei Mita Line.
The right-of-way and stations between Shirokane-Takanawa and Meguro are shared with the Toei Mita Line. Under an agreement between Tokyo Metro and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the fare for this section is calculated on the Toei fare system for passengers traveling to stations on the Mita Line past Shirokane-Takanawa, on the Metro fare system for passengers traveling to stations on the Namboku Line past Shirokane-Takanawa, and on the system "most beneficial to the passenger" (presently the Metro schedule) for travel solely on the shared sector.
