Future prospects

Plan to draw towards Hiratsuka The Izumi field line has obtained the license to Hiratsuka direction by the report of the Transportation Policy Council from the outset that was laid down, in the original plan, Shonandai Station is scheduled to go through the Keio University Shonan Fujisawa campus and pass through the northern Chigasaki city to Hiratsuka Station.

However, since the plan for the Tokaido Shinkansen to be constructed at the Sagami Line Kurami Station has been lifted, the concept of connecting to the Kurami Station (Twin city Planning district) emerged from the middle of the route to the establishment of a branching line or a branch. Currently, in the Sagami Railway (tentative name) East Japan Railway (JR East) and the Tokyo Express Railway (Tokyu) and Tokyu Line are going to interact with each route to be connected via the Kanagawa Eastern District Line.

For Tokyu Direct Line, the Izumi field line is also included on the Sotetsu side.

In 2009, a 10-year extension (license renewal) is being carried out, since the stretching license for the aforementioned Hiratsuka direction expires. In June 2010, in Kanagawa Prefecture, the four students from Fujisawa City, Sagami Railway, and Keio University have established a "study meeting for the realization of the Izumi field line drawing" and, as a result of the two-year study, the area around the Keio SFC campus.

The policy of aiming at the stretch by the Railway (single line) has been selected.

In the report proposal approved by the Traffic Policy Council on April 7, 2016, the stretch from Shonandai Station to the Kurami Station in Samukawa town has been chosen for one of 24 railway lines to be made by 2030.
