Toyama Chihō Railway


The Toyama Chihō Railway (富山地方鉄道 Toyama Chihō Tetsudō?, "Toyama Regional Railway") is a transportation company in Toyama, Toyama, Japan. The company is commonly known as Chitetsu (地鉄?). The private company operates railway, tram, and bus lines in the eastern part of the prefecture. It also operates as the agency of All Nippon Airways in Toyama area. The company has its root in Toyama Electric Railway (富山電気鉄道 Toyama Denki Tetsudō?) founded in 1930. The current company was founded in 1943, when all the private and public operators of railway, tram, and bus lines in the prefecture were merged into one. In 1950, it founded Kaetsunō Railway, planning to build the railway line that links Toyama and Ishikawa. Chitetsu handed over its networks in the western part of Toyama Prefecture, although the plan never came into reality.

All the trains from Tateyama Line and Fujikoshi-Kamidaki Line have through services to Main Line, reaching Dentetsu-Toyama.
