History
The Yoshino Railway (吉野鉄道) Co. opened the Yoshino - Muda section in 1912, and extended the line to Kashiharajingū-mae in 1923, electrifying the entire line at 1500 VDC at that time.
In 1929 the company merged with the Osaka Electric Railway Co., which merged with Kintetsu in 1944.
Freight services ceased in 1984, and CTC signalling was commissioned in 2001.
