The Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., also referred to with the official nickname Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., is a railway line operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West) in Nara Prefecture.[1] It connects Nara on the Yamatoji Line to Takada on the Wakayama Line, with some services continuing on the Wakayama Line to Ōji Station, and then to JR Namba on the Yamatoji Line. Since March 13, 2010, the line has also been called the "Man-yō Mahoroba Line", a name that references the large number of ancient landmarks along the line's route. "Man-yō" refers to the Man'yōshū and mahoroba refers to Nara.
History
The Osaka Railway Co. opened the Takada - Sakurai section in 1893, and the Nara Railway Co. opened the Sakurai - Kyobate section in 1898, extending the line to Nara the following year.
In 1900 the Osaka Railway Co. merged with the Kansai Railway Co., and the Nara Railway Co. did likewise in 1905. In 1907 the Kansai Railway Co. was nationalised.
CTC signalling was commissioned in 1979, and the line was electrified in 1980. Freight services ceased in 1983.
