The Meitetsu Toyota Line (名鉄豊田線, Meitetsu Toyota-sen) is a 15.2 km (9.4 mi) railway line in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Meitetsu (Nagoya Railroad) connecting Umetsubo station in Toyota with Akaike Station in Nisshin. The line operates a through service onto the Nagoya Subway Tsurumai Line at Akaike.

History

Prior to the opening of the Toyota Line, the existing ways to move between the city of Toyota and Nagoya by rail was to take a detour south via Meitetsu Mikawa Line or the Okata Line. This inconvenience affecting the city and the nearby municipalities of Tōgō and Nisshin, made the population of the city use cars instead.

Stations

All stations are in Aichi Prefecture. While the nominal terminus of the line is at Umetsubo Station, trains (and passengers) continue past this to terminate at Toyotashi Station.
