TheNagoya Line (名古屋線,Nagoya-sen) is a railway line owned and operated by theKintetsu Railway, a Japaneseprivate railway company, connectingNagoya andIse Nakagawa Station inMatsusaka,Mie Prefecture viaKuwana,Yokkaichi,Suzuka,Tsu municipalities along theIse Bay. The official starting-point of the line is Ise-Nakagawa and the terminus is Nagoya; however, operationally trains run "down" from and "up" towards Nagoya.

The line approximately parallels theCentral Japan Railway Company (JR Central)Kansai Main Line, the Ise RailwayIse Line, and the JR CentralKisei Main Line, and all three offer rapid services from Nagoya to Ise.

At Ise-Nakagawa, the line has connections to theOsaka Line toUehommachi andKintetsu Namba Stations of downtownOsaka, and to theYamada Line toUjiyamada Station and beyondToba Station on theToba Line andKashikojima Station of theShima Line, to provide touristic access to scenic Shima Peninsula andIse Shrine.

The first section, between Shiroko and Takadahonzan, was opened in 1915 by an independent railway operatorIse Electric Railway (伊勢電気鉄道,Ise Denki Testudō) with rail gauge1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in). The line was extended to Tsu-shinmachi and Kusu in 1917, and to (now) Kintetsu-Yokkaichi in 1922, the line being electrified at 1500 VDC in 1926. It was extended as an electrified line to Kuwana in 1929, and to Ise-Nakagawa the following year.

In 1936 the line was acquired by the Sangu Express Railway Co., which duplicated the Kuwana - Kusu section in 1938, the year that the Kansai Express Railway Co. opened the Nagoya - Kuwana section as electrified dual track.

In 1940 the Sangū Kyūkō Electric Railway (参宮急行電鉄,Sangū Kyukō Dentetsu) merged with the Kansai Express Railway Co., a predecessor of Kintetsu.

The Kusu - Hisai section was duplicated between 1937 and 1955, and the dual tracking of the line was completed in 1972 with duplication of the Hisai - Ise-Nakagawa section.

After the acquisition of a 1435mm connection to Osaka, Kintetsu passengers to that destination needed to change trains due to the difference of gauges. In 1959 the disastrousIse-wan Typhoon destroyed the line and Kintetsu decided toconvert to1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) gauge (standard gauge) with the reconstruction, the standard of the company to enable direct operation between Osaka and Nagoya. Today a number of Limited Express trains between Osaka and Nagoya, and between Nagoya and Ise and Shima area are operated.

• Kuwana station - The 762mm gaugeSangi Railway Hokusei Line 1 km (0.62 mi) section to Kuwana Kyobashi operated between 1913 and 1961, being electrified in 1930 at 600 VDC, and boosted to 750 VDC in 1954.
• Edobashi station - theIse Electric Railway 39 km (24 mi) 1067mm gauge line to Daijingumae opened between 1926 and 1930, and closed between 1943 and 1961.
• Tsu-shimmachi station - The Anou Railway Co. operated a 14 km (8.7 mi) 762mm gauge line to Mukumoto between 1914 and 1944. There was a 5 km (3.1 mi) branch to Katada operated from 1917 to 1927.
• Hisai station - The Dainippon Railway Co. operated a 15 km (9.3 mi) 762mm gauge line to Ise-Kawaguchi on theMeisho Line between 1925 and 1943.

• Toda station - The 1972 Nagoya regional transport plan proposed a subway (Line 5) from this station to Kurokawa. In 2008 it was determined the line was not economically viable.
