Nishikigawa Seiryū Line

The Nishikigawa Seiryū Line (錦川清流線, Nishikigawa Seiryū-sen, "Nishiki River Clear Stream Line") is a Japanese railway line connecting Kawanishi and Nishikichō stations, all within Iwakuni, Yamaguchi. As the name suggests, the line parallels the Nishiki River. This is the only railway line operated by Nishikigawa Railway (錦川鉄道, Nishikigawa Tetsudō), a third-sector railway company which took over a former West Japan Railway Company (JR West) line in 1987. The line was proposed to be extended to Nichihara via JR's Yamaguchi Line, but this was not completed (see History section below). The company also operates bus lines and a travel agency.
