Ibusuki Makurazaki Line (指宿枕崎線, Ibusuki Makurazaki-sen?) is a railway line in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, operated by the Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu). It runs from Kagoshima-Chūō Station in Kagoshima, extending south to Makurazaki Station in Makurazaki, running along the eastern and southern coast of Satsuma Peninsula.
The first section of the line, between Nishi-Kagoshima (now Kagoshima-Chūō) and Goino, opened in 1930. The extension was completed in 1963. Excluding the Okinawa Monorail in Okinawa, this is the southernmost railway line in Japan, with Nishi-Ōyama Station being the southernmost station overall.
Famous quotes containing the word line:
“Somewhere along the line of development we discover who we really are, and then we make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else’s life not even your child’s. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
