The is a 8.3 km railway line owned by the Ichibata Electric Railway. The line connects Kawato Station with Izumo Taisha-mae Station, all within Izumo, Shimane Prefecture, Japan.
With the closure of JR West's Taisha Line in 1990, this line became the only line connecting passengers to the Izumo-taisha.
The line is electrified with overhead lines and is single-tracked for the entire line. No passing loops exist on the line.
Though the line terminates at Kawato Station, some services continue along the Kita-Matsue Line to Matsue Shinjiko-Onsen Station.[1] There are local, express, and limited express services that run along on the line, along with the Izumotaisha express service.[2]
All stations are within Izumo, Shimane.
