The Hankyū Minoo Line (阪急箕面線 Mino-o sen) is a Japanese railway line operated by Hankyu Railway which connects Ishibashi Station in Ikeda and Minoo. Its main function is to provide access to Osaka, but this requires a transfer except during commute hours.
The Minoo Arima Electric Railway Co. opened the entire line in 1910 as 1435mm gauge dual track, electrified at 600 VDC.
In 1969 the voltage was raised to 1500 VDC.
Some commute trains continue through the Takarazuka Line to Umeda.
