History

The Honmachi Line was built in 1911 by the Matsuyama Electric Railway, who ran electric trams on a track. The Matsuyama Electric Railway was merged with Iyotetsu in 1921, who continued to operate the line. In 1923, the tracks were converted from 1435 mm to. The line was briefly closed in 1945 due to damages from air raids in the Second World War, but was restored in 1948.

The line is electrified and is single-tracked for the entire line. There are no passing loops on the line.
The line only operates on weekday mornings.
