History

The line is the oldest in the Kintetsu railway network. Initially steam-powered, the line was built and opened in 1898 by the Kayō Railway, whose plan was to connect towns of southern Kawachi Province to the then main line of the Osaka Railway, present-day Kansai Main Line.
In the following year, the whole railway from to was transferred to the Kanan Railway, who extended the line to Nagano in 1902.
With its name changed to the Osaka Railway in 1919, the company built its own railway directly to Osaka's downtown, diverting at. The new line opened in 1923 to Osaka Tennōji with 1,500 V DC electrified, the first in Japan. Then the railway line between Dōmyōji and Kashiwara became a short branch line of the network.
In 1943, the predecessor of Kintetsu, the Kansai Express Railway merged the company. In 1944 it renamed itself Kintetsu.
