is the monorail route of the Osaka Monorail which runs from in Suita, Osaka Prefecture to Saito-nishi Station.The line opened in two stages – on 1 October 1998, from Bampaku-kinen-koen Station to Handai-byoin-mae Station, and on 19 March 2007, to Saito-nishi Station, in Ibaraki, about a kilometer from the Osaka University of Foreign Studies in Minoh. The branch is 6.8km (04.2miles) long.[1]
An extension was planned north of Saito-nishi Station, but plans were dropped on 27 January 2017 due to a lack of profitability as the zoning around the proposed extension was switched from residential to industrial.[2] [3]
