The original Iga Railway opened the 26 km 1,067 mm gauge line between Iga-Ueno on the Kansai Main Line and Nishi-Nabari on 18 July 1922.[3] The line was electrified at 600 V DC on 25 May 1926.[3] The company merged with the Osaka Electric Railway on 31 March 1929.[3]
The Iga-Kambe to Nishi-Nabari section closed in 1964.[3]
Operation of the line was transferred to the (new) Iga Railway on 1 October 2007.[3]
