The Kyoto Line (京都線 Kyōto-sen?) of Kintetsu Corporation is a railway line connecting cities of Kyoto, Uji and Nara. The line competes with the Nara Line of West Japan Railway Company which also connects those cities.

Many trains on the line continue to the Nara Line to Kintetsu Nara or the Kashihara Line via Yamato-Saidaiji Station. The line also provides the through train services with the Karasuma Line of Kyoto Municipal Subway.

[edit] History

The Kyoto Line was built by Nara Electric Railway (奈良電気鉄道 Nara Denki Tetsudō?) in 1928. The track between Kyoto Station and Horiuchi Station (present-day Kintetsu-Tambabashi Station) was placed on the site of a removed railway, which had been rerouted and is now called the JR Nara Line.

The railway provided the through services to the lines of Kintetsu (originally, Osaka Electric Tramway) from the beginning and was merged into Kintetsu in 1963. Between 1945 and 1968, there were through services with the Keihan Main Line using crossovers at Tambabashi. In 1988, the through services with the Karasuma Line was introduced.
