The Musashino (むさしの) is an all-stations train service in Japan operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) in Tokyo between Hachiōji on the Chuo Line or Fuchū-Hommachi on the Musashino Line and Ōmiya in Saitama Prefecture.[1] It avoids passengers having to change trains at Minami-Urawa or Musashi-Urawa to access the western portion of the Musashino line to/from Ōmiya. This train only operates a few services in the morning and evening peaks each day. Shimōsa is a similar service linking Ōmiya and the eastern side of the Musashino Line. The trains terminate at Fuchū-Hommachi, Ōmiya and Hachiōji. The trains from Hachiōji travel on the Chuo Line. After Kunitachi station, trains will go through a cargo branch. After stopping at Shin-Kodaira, the train uses the Musashino Line. After Kita-Asaka station, the train goes by special freight non-stop tracks. After passing Nishi-Urawa station, the train turns to Ōmiya arriving tracks. Trains usually stop on Platforms 3 and 4 at Ōmiya station.

Prior to the 4 December 2010 timetable revision, two return workings operated on weekdays, with one return Holiday Rapid Musashino working at weekends, as shown below.[6]
From the start of the revised timetable on 4 December 2010, the Musashino ceased to be a limited-stop "rapid" service, with trains stopping at all stations, and the number of daily services increased.[7]
