Rolling Stock and Service
The Kishigawa Line uses 6 sets (12 cars) of 2270 series electric multiple units (EMUs), originally built for Nankai and transferred to the new operator together with the tracks and other assets of the Kishigawa Line. Some of the cars have been repainted with the design by industrial designer Eiji Mitooka, who designed the type 9200 "MOMO" tram of Okayama Electric Tramway and trains of JR Kyushu including the 800 Series Shinkansen while others are still in the Nankai livery.
In the morning and evening, service operates three to four times each hour; at off-peak times, two per hour is the norm. Trains are driver-only operated, and do not have conductors.

“But dread
was in her, a bloodbeat, it was against the rolling dark
oncoming river she raised bulwarks....”

“I met a Californian who would
Talk California—a state so blessed
He said, in climate, none had ever died there
A natural death, and Vigilance Committees
Had had to organize to stock the graveyards
And vindicate the state’s humanity.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.”
—George Grosz (1893–1959)
