Iwaizumi Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Iwaizumi Line (岩泉線) is a rail line in Japan. Part of the East Japan Railway Company, it runs from Moichi Station in Miyako, Iwate Prefecture to Iwaizumi Station in Iwaizumi, Iwate Prefecture. In Japan this line is famous for its poor service. There are 4 local services a day to Iwaizumi Station (one of which is up to Iwate-Wainai Station), and 4 to Moichi Station or Miyako Station (one of which starts from Iwate-Wainai Station), but this is amazingly few by Japanese standards.
