The Kintetsu Utsube Line (近鉄内部線, Kintetsu Utsube-sen?) is a railway line operated by the Japanese private railway company Kintetsu, connecting Kintetsu-Yokkaichi Station and Utsube Station, both in the city of Yokkaichi, Mie, Japan.
The line connects (indirectly) with the Kintetsu Nagoya Line and Kintetsu Yunoyama Line at Kintetsu-Yokkaichi Station; these other lines use an elevated platform whereas the Utsube Line uses a ground-level platform. At Hinaga Station, the line connects with the Kintetsu Hachiōji Line, a one-station branch line. Because all trains on the Hachiōji Line offer direct service to Kintetsu-Yokkaichi via the Utsube Line, the two lines are collectively called the Utsube-Hachiōji Line (内部・八王子線, Utsube-Hachiōji-sen?).
Unlike major Kintetsu lines, the line does not accept PiTaPa or ICOCA which are smart card ticketing systems.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“When all this is over, you know what I’m going to do? I’m gonna get married, gonna have about six kids. I’ll line ‘em up against the wall and tell them what it was like here in Burma. If they don’t cry, I’ll beat the hell out of ‘em.”
—Samuel Fuller, U.S. screenwriter, and Milton Sperling. Samuel Fuller. Barney, Merrill’s Marauders (1962)
