Nankai Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (南海電気鉄道株式会社,Nankai denki tetsudō kabushiki gaisha) is aprivate railway in Japan, founded in 1884.

Nankai predates all the electric railways in the Tokyo region.

The Nankai network branches out in a generally southern direction fromNamba Station inOsaka. The Nankai Main Line connects Osaka toWakayama, with animportant spur branching toKansai International Airport. Therapi:t α express connectsKansai International Airport to Namba in 34 minutes, while therapi:t β takes 39 minutes with two additional stops. The Koya Line connects Osaka toMt.

History

[edit]

Winged wheel and firstmonshō of the Nankai Railway Company, reused by the Nankai Electric Railway until 1973.

The Nankai Railway Company was founded on June 16, 1884. In 1944 it was one of the companies that merged to formKinki Nippon Railway Co., Ltd. (Kin-nichi, present Kintetsu Railway). However, Kin-nichi transferred the former Nankai Railway Company's lines to the present Nankai Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (named Koyasan Electric Railway Co., Ltd. from March 28, 1925 until March 14, 1947) on June 1, 1947.

*Monshō* of the Nankai Electric Railway since 1972; used as main logo until 1993.

From 1938 to 1988, Nankai Electric Railway owned theNankai Hawks, a team inNippon Professional Baseball that was based in Osaka. The team was sold toDaiei after the 1988 season and moved to Fukuoka and rechristened the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks. The team was sold again in 2005 toSoftBank, and are now the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks.

On November 1, 2024,Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) approved the merger of Nankai Electric Railway and its subsidiarySemboku Rapid Railway, effective April 1, 2025.^[1]
