Asatō Line

The Asatō Line (阿佐東線, Asatō-sen^?, "Asa East Line") is a Japanese railway line connecting Kaifu Station, Kaiyō and Kannoura Station, Tōyō. Together with JR Shikoku's Mugi Line, it has the official nickname Awa Muroto Seaside Line (阿波室戸シーサイドライン, Awa Muroto Shīsaido Rain^?). This is the only railway line Asa Kaigan Railway (阿佐海岸鉄道, Asa Kaigan Tetsudō^?, "Asa Coastal Railway") operates. The company is abbreviated as Asatetsu (阿佐鉄^?). Since the line goes through a relatively sparsely populated area, it is under severe business stress, to the point where closure of the line has been proposed.
