The {{Nihongo|'''Nara Line'''|奈良線|Nara sen}} is a Japanese railway line owned by the [[Kintetsu Railway]]. The line connects [[Fuse Station]] in the eastern suburbs of Osaka to [[Kintetsu Nara Station]] in the historic city of [[Nara, Nara|Nara]], though operationally, the line begins at [[Ōsaka Namba Station]] on the [[Kintetsu Namba Line|Namba Line]].<ref name="osakaStation">{{Cite web|url=https://www.osakastation.com/the-kintetsu-nara-line-for-ikoma-yamato-saidaiji-and-nara/|title=The Kintetsu Nara Line for Ikoma, Yamato-Saidaiji, and Nara – Osaka Station|website=www.osakastation.com|access-date=2020-03-17}}</ref> Additionally, some trains run through-services starting at [[Sannomiya Station|Kobe Sannomiya Station]] on the [[Hanshin Railway]] [[Hanshin Main Line|Main Line]] in [[Kobe]].<ref name="osakaStation"/> Eastern satellite cities such as [[Higashiosaka, Osaka|Higashiosaka]] and [[Ikoma, Nara|Ikoma]] are connected by the line.<ref name="osakaStation"/> This line is more direct than the JR line between Osaka and Nara.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Miki|first=Masafuni|date=March 2004|title=Railway Operators in Japan 12: Southern and Eastern Kinki Region|url=https://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr38/pdf/s58_mik.pdf|journal=Japan Railway & Transport Review|volume=38|pages=63|via=East Japan Railway Culture Foundation}}</ref>

==History==
The line was opened by {{Nihongo|Osaka Electric Railway Company|大阪電気軌道|Osaka Denki Kidō}} in 1914, dual track and electrified at 600 VDC.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Miki|first=Masafuni|date=March 2004|title=Railway Operators in Japan 12: Southern and Eastern Kinki Region|url=https://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr38/pdf/s58_mik.pdf|journal=Japan Railway & Transport Review|volume=38|pages=63|via=East Japan Railway Culture Foundation}}</ref>

Whereas the JR West [[Yamatoji Line]] routes south of the Ikoma mountain range to connect [[Osaka]] and [[Nara (city)|Nara]], the Kintetsu Nara Line uses a {{Convert|3.4|km|mi|abbr=on}} tunnel through the Ikoma mountain range.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Miki|first=Masafuni|date=March 2004|title=Railway Operators in Japan 12: Southern and Eastern Kinki Region|url=https://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr38/pdf/s58_mik.pdf|journal=Japan Railway & Transport Review|volume=38|pages=63|via=East Japan Railway Culture Foundation}}</ref> As a result, the Kintetsu route is more direct and has allowed municipalities along the line such as [[Ikoma, Nara|Ikoma]] to flourish as major commuter hubs. To respond to high demand, the railway operates services with up to ten cars long during the peak hours operating as rapid and limited express services.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Miki|first=Masafuni|date=March 2004|title=Railway Operators in Japan 12: Southern and Eastern Kinki Region|url=https://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr38/pdf/s58_mik.pdf|journal=Japan Railway & Transport Review|volume=38|pages=63|via=East Japan Railway Culture Foundation}}</ref> Because of the direct routing, the Nara Line is highly regarded for being the most important commuter rail route in the Kinki region.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Miki|first=Masafuni|date=March 2004|title=Railway Operators in Japan 12: Southern and Eastern Kinki Region|url=https://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr38/pdf/s58_mik.pdf|journal=Japan Railway & Transport Review|volume=38|pages=63|via=East Japan Railway Culture Foundation}}</ref> Higher demand over the years has gradually lead to a reduction of faster midday services as Kintetsu moved to a higher frequency of limited express trains during peak hours.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Miki|first=Masafuni|date=March 2004|title=Railway Operators in Japan 12: Southern and Eastern Kinki Region|url=https://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr38/pdf/s58_mik.pdf|journal=Japan Railway & Transport Review|volume=38|pages=63|via=East Japan Railway Culture Foundation}}</ref>

In 1969 the voltage was increased to 1500 VDC, and in 1970 the Namba Line was opened, and the operational starting station of the Line moved to Kintetsu Namba Station, from Uehonmachi Station of Osaka Line.

==Operation==
Trains run to and from the Kintetsu Namba Line and the [[Hanshin Namba Line]], and lead to [[Osaka Namba Station]] and Amagasaki Station, and Rapid Express trains also to Kobe Sannomiya Station on the [[Hanshin Main Line]].  Between Yamato-Saidaiji and Kintetsu Nara, through trains of the [[Kyoto Line (Kintetsu)|Kyoto Line]] also run.<ref name="Kintetsu-route-guide">{{Cite web|url=https://www.kintetsu.co.jp/foreign/english/about/station/route_map/root4.html|title=Guide on Stops（Osaka-Namba Sta.－Kintetsu-Nara Sta.、Ikoma Sta.－Oji Sta.、Shin-Oji Sta.－Nishi-Tawaramoto Sta.、Nagata Sta.－Gakken-Nara-Tomigaoka Sta.） {{!}} Railway Network Map {{!}} Travel by Train {{!}} Kintetsu Railway Co., Ltd.|website=www.kintetsu.co.jp|access-date=2020-03-17}}</ref>

{{nihongo|The '''Namba Line'''|難波線|Nanba Sen}} is an underground [[railway]] line owned by the [[Kintetsu Railway]] in [[Osaka]], [[Japan]], and opened in 1970.  It is an extension of the [[Osaka Line]] and the Nara Line.  The line is parallel to the [[Osaka Municipal Subway]] [[Sennichimae Line]] ({{STN|Namba|x}} - {{STN|Tanimachi Kyuchome|x}}).  Along with the commuter trains of the Nara Line and the Hanshin Namba Line, some intercity trains including the "Urban Liner" connecting Osaka and [[Nagoya]], also run on the line.
