Nishikigawa Railway Nishikigawa Seiryū Line
The Nishikigawa Seiryū Line (錦川清流線 Nishikigawa Seiryū-sen, "Nishiki River Limpid Stream Line") is a Japanese railway line between Kawanishi and Nishikichō stations, all within Iwakuni, Yamaguchi. As the name suggests, the line runs along the Nishiki River (Nishiki-gawa). This is the only railway line Nishikigawa Railway (錦川鉄道 Nishikigawa Tetsudō) operates. The third sector company (in Japanese sense) took former West Japan Railway Company (JR West) line in 1987. Formerly the line ran to Nichihara, where it joined the Yamaguchi Line. The company also operates bus lines and a travel agency.
