History

The Toyama Light Railway Co. opened the Toyama - Sasazu (since closed) line in 1914. The company merged with the Toyama Electric Railway Co. in 1941, and the Inarimachi - Minami-Toyama section was electrified at 1500 VDC two years later when the current company was formed by a merger of all non-government owned railways in the Toyama area.
