Manyosen (万葉線, Man'yōsen) is a third-sector electric railway (tram) line in Takaoka, Toyama, Japan.[1] The name Manyosen, which literally translates to Manyo Line, is used to refer to both the company and the name of the tram line they operate. Their head office, depot and maintenance facility is located adjacent to the Yonejimaguchi tram stop.

History
The first sections of the line opened on October 12, 1930. The section from Takaoka to Yonejimaguchi opened in 1948. The new line also continued to Fukishi-ko station, but the section beyond Yonejimaguchi was closed in 1971. The former operator Kaetsunō Railway considered closing the line due to heavy deficits and the end of government aid in 1997. In February 1998, Kaetsuno Railway announced their decision to cease all railway services. The two tram and railway lines were transferred to the newly established Manyosen, a third-sector railway on April 1, 2002.[1][2][3]

Services
Although Manyosen is a combination of the two lines, a railway and a tram line, the two lines are operated together as one route between Takaoka Station and Koshinokata.[4] As of January 2025[update], the service operates every 15 minutes (every 30 minutes in the early morning and at night). Travel time is 49 minutes.[1]
