The Yamatoji Line (大和路線 Yamatoji-sen?) is the nickname of the western portion of the Kansai Main Line. The electrified portion is one of commuter rail lines and services in Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto Metropolitan Area, owned and operated by West Japan Railway Company. The line starts at Kamo Station in Kyoto Prefecture and ends at JR Namba Station in Naniwa-ku, Osaka.
[edit] Operations
The Yamatoji Rapid Service (大和路快速 Yamatoji kaisoku?) starts at Kamo or Nara Station and diverts from the Kansai Line at Shin-Imamiya Station instead of continuing to Namba. From Shin-Imamiya, it runs on the Osaka Loop Line, making limited stops to Osaka Station, and then making every stop before completing the loop at Tennoji Station. In early mornings and at night, it operates as the Regional Rapid Service (区間快速 Kukan kaisoku?), covering the same route but making every stop on the Osaka Loop Line.
Regional Rapid Service also operates between Nara and Namba, and sometimes connect to the Wakayama Line or the Sakurai Line on the Nara side.
