TheNagano Line (長野線,Kintetsu Nagano-sen) is a railway line of Japaneseprivate railway companyKintetsu Railway.^[1] It branches offMinami-Osaka Line atFuruichi in southern suburbs ofOsaka. The line connectscities ofHabikino,Tondabayashi andKawachi-Nagano inOsaka Prefecture, terminates atKawachinagano with connection toNankai Electric RailwayKōya Line.

The Nagano Line was constructed and opened between 1898 and 1902 as the sole line of Kayō Railway (河陽鉄道,Kayō Tetsudō) who aimed to connect inland town Kawachinagano to Kashiwara on theKansai Main Line (then of Kansei Railway (関西鉄道,Kansei Tetsudō; also read as Kwansei, Kansai)). The company renamed itself the Osaka Railway Co. in 1919 (being the second company of that name) and decided and built its own line directly to Osaka, branching from Dōmyōji. The company then opened a line diverting from Furuichi toNara Prefecture, to complete presentMinami Osaka Line. Thus the line to Kawachi-Nagano became a branch line, present Nagano Line.

The line was electrified at 1500 VDC in 1923, and the company merged with Kintetsu in 1944. The Furuichi - Kishi section was duplicated in 1957, and extended to Tondabayashi in 1974.

In September 2024, services had to be reduced due to a shortage of drivers.^[2]
