The Jōhoku Line (城北線, Jōhoku-sen) is a Japanese commuter rail line between Kachigawa Station in Kasugai and Biwajima Station in Kiyosu, in Aichi Prefecture. Trains are operated by JR-Central Transport Service Company, or TKJ in short, a wholly owned subsidiary of JR Central. While TKJ operates the line, the rail facilities belong to its parent company JR Central. Since the electrification of Taketoyo Line in 2015, it is the only railway line in Aichi Prefecture to not be electrified.
