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 (Namba - Tanimachi Kyuchome). 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.
There are three railway stations on the Namba Line:
The Limited Express trains pass Kintetsu Nippombashi Station. Other trains stop at all stations.
